90 Day Wondering
Ralph Phillips is overjoyed when he runs out of Fort Itude, because he's a civilian again. Things, however, don't go well for him when he gets home, and two pixies named Pete and Re-Pete convince him to stay in civilian life or go back to the army. At the end, Ralph chooses to go back to the army

Fascinating. A man gets out of military service and goes home. He then finds life at home to have changed and left him feeling isolated and lonely. The solution…? REENLIST! This is clearly more than just propaganda; this is biased informational marketing. And unintentionally comments on the institutionalization of America’s military force. You see and do things you can’t talk about, and then go home to people who could never understand, and what else can you do except go back to those same institutions that traumatized you in the first place?
