SNAFUBAR is a show about strategic and moral military errors and mishaps, and the myths that both lead to and then justify them. The histories they look at will make clear the degree to which the U.S. is a warful nation, contrary to the myth of a peaceful nation regularly compelled, against its will, to go to war. Through every episode, the show uncovers how we romanticize and fetishize the military while not always providing the support it needs to carry out its intended (or stated) goals, or to meet veterans’ needs when they return from combat.

SNAFUBAR is part of the Cal Poly Humboldt network and is hosted by Dr. Jeff Crane (Environmental Historian and Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences) and Dr. Sarah Hart (Lecturer in Religious Studies and Chair of the Department of History).
