Why the Shouting? – Sideshow Barker in an Uncle Sam Suit (1969/2019)

“Hey, soldier!”
cries the barker
as he tips his cartoon hat:

“Try your luck, sharpshooter; win
a stuffed bear for your girl, as a
memory of your killer skill.”

Now, sitting here
I’m wondering:
what’s this war all about…

Why the shouting at each other – “Shoot
your brother, win a medal!” meddling in
another’s life.
