I was always enjoyed satirical cartoons such as Rocky & Bullwinkle, etc. While I enjoyed Roger (I was 21 at the time) this episode was one of the few that I felt really had topical, political satire. It was a great send-up of Lyndon Johnson's controversial week-long invasion of Santo Domingo in mid-'65. Not only did it make fun of the decisions and actions, it also had clever characters such as the femme fatale Tequila Mockingbird and the revolutionary leader Juaqin Behindju.
