Walloon, I am surprised, you are usually much better about reading before posting.

Oh, and there was an episode of Dinosaurs where the 2-leggers and the 4-leggers go into trench warfare over who was better. They kept throwing sticks at each other and everyone kept losing eyes. You know, that’s actually clever the more I think about it.

This was mainly a satire of the then-recent Gulf War, with pistachios filling in for oil. Then again, now that I think about it, it satirized a number of wars- World War I with the trenches, as mentioned, and also World War II, as a number of songs from that era are parodied (“Don’t Sit Under the Pistachio Tree,” etc.) I think protests (such as those in Vietnam) were also mentioned.

These are World War I movies that I liked and recommend. Is only one person allowed to recommend a particular movie?

All I can think of is a few episodes of The Young Indiana Jones. Does that count?

Oh yeah! Eventually, someone actually DIED, and the war ended, and the media wouldn’t admit that someone died. You’re right, it was a pretty interesting metaphor.
