5/10
before Pearl Harbor
28 July 2024
Various men join the US Army. They are sent to the Presidio in San Francisco. One has a chip on his shoulder. The Sergeant patiently counsels him. Everyone would end up in a spiffy uniform on the parade grounds.

This is propaganda before Pearl Harbor. Of course, that would change everything. This short struggles to give a good reason for joining other than the most basic patriotic sentiment. The training is not harsh enough. Maybe they are trying to soft-peddle the intensity. This may not be great recruitment, but it's probably not going to hurt. It actually got nominated for an Academy Award.
