　The sequence begins with the character Max visiting his local draft board, where he's serenaded with "I want you," by a towering animated Uncle Sam leaning down from a recruiting poster. Then comes a group of officers performing Busby Berkeley-esque sequences that strongly recall Alan Parker's most famous sequences in The Wall, followed by a scene where Max and other new recruits walk through a miniaturized version of a Vietnam rice paddy.
