After being instructed to paint a huge cannon in camouflage colors Donald paints it in very noticeable spots and stripes. His drill sergeant obviously goes mad at him. Told to repaint it, Donald goes for a wander and comes across some experimental invisible paint. He wasn't told NOT to use it so why not?
Sure enough the paint works and he has a mighty good time fooling the Sergeant with typical invisible prankster tricks and singing his 'Army is not the Army anymore' song. Yes, it is another one of Disney's wartime propaganda efforts. Making it seem like the Army is nice and friendly (not an institution that goes on killing sprees) and that invisible paint really is something that they mess around with.
Good for a few laughs, not to be taken as a snapshot of actual army life.
