# "No Sir, Nobody's Going to Regiment Me!" This Judge cartoon satirizes resistance to military conscription or mandatory military service. The protagonist declares his refusal to be "regimented"—placed under military discipline and control. The six-panel narrative depicts increasingly absurd consequences: the character is literally attacked by military machinery (top left), launches into the air via parachutes (middle panels), and ultimately ends up dead in a graveyard (bottom right). The progression suggests that defying military authority leads to disaster. The satire likely targets draft resisters or pacifists during a period of military buildup or war (the style suggests early-to-mid 20th century). Judge uses dark humor to mock those who refuse military service, implying their resistance is both foolish and self-destructive. The message supports military compliance and duty.
