	Private Snafu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Private Snafu is the title character of a series of fl-and-white instructional cartoon shorts produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II.
		Most of the Private Snafu shorts are educational, and although The War Department had to approve the storyboards, the Warner directors were allowed great latitude in order to keep the cartoons entertaining.
		The Snafu films are also partly responsible for keeping the animation studios open during the war -- by producing such training films, the studios were declared an essential industry.

		SNAFU Coined during the early years of World War II, then acronym snafu — a condensation of the phrase " situation normal all fucked up " - was used by American soldiers to describe a condition of disorder created by an excess of conflicting Army rules and regulations.
		Lost in contemporary usage of the term, however, is the tension held in the original phrase beetween two seemingly incompatible conditions occurring simultaneously : the normal and the fouled-up.
		In the Army, a snafu was created when the rigid rules and carefully choreographed routines of military life produced chaos and disorder — the very conditions that they were designed to avoid.
