Yes. That was WALT Disney. The current management is no where near Walts patriotism.

Warner Bros also did a bunch of legit training cartoons. Most have probably been lost, but there were a number of “Private Snafu” shorts included in one of their Collections sets.

Back in the mid 50’s you could buy an anti tank gun for $99.95 via a Men’s magazine add. It would not be my weapon of choice against a tank.

The Boys Antitank Rifle was used by the Marine Raider battalions in the early battles - The Makin Raid, Tulagi/Tasimboko, and Guadalcanal and one man carried the beast assembled over a shoulder on patrol.
Raider Marines armed with the .55 Boys were credited with destroying a Kawanishi H6K "Emily" four-engine transport loaded with reinforcing Japanese troops and an Aichi E13A recon plane at Makin atoll.

Walt also did the design for the AVG “Flying Tigers” logo.

Good stuff.
Highly recommend the Internet Archive (archive.org)—they have a number of Disney produced patriotic-themed cartoons and training films from WW-2.
