This was 1 part propaganda cartoons, 1 part training video and 1 part entertainment made by the best of the industry at the time.
I don't think you'll find anything like this in the modern age.
The modern equivalent? They probably have a mandatory screening of Steven Universe characters telling the US troops not to be racist in every Army base.
AFU implies FUBAR, but the SN modifies it to indicate that this is the standard state of affairs. If you're waking up at 3 AM and send on patrol with two bullets, a 1940s hand grenade, and a piece of driftwood, the situation is fricked up. If the shoddy equipment is because your supply depot got bombed last night, it's FUBAR. If this is because the supply depot got restocked yesterday and they had two extra bullets to spare you, it's SNAFU.
In other words, all SNAFU are FUBAR, but not all FUBAR are SNAFU.
to show GIs common mistakes they might make in the field and how it could lead to their deaths
snafu was a bit of a dimwit, but this meant that any GI making the same mistakes as him would associate himself with snafu

Beetle Bailey, Bad Lads' Army and possibly GMod/SFM videos featuring shooter video game characters
Look at him.
>Situation normal: all fricked up
What does this mean? What context would you ever say snafu instead of fubar?
Snafu is the essence of the situation. FUBAR is just the state of the stuff.
if all is fricked up why would that be normal?
Because it's war.

Whenever I meet an obnoxious boomer vet, I imagine that he was like this during his service.
