Sensitivity Training Cartoon - Military Satire on Conformity and Political Correctness #1738406 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white editorial cartoon by Darby C. Mearc depicts a line of uniformed soldiers chanting politically correct slogans like “kiss a baby-hug a tree” and “show some hospitalityee,” while a single soldier breaks ranks and walks away, visibly skeptical. The irony is underscored by the title “Sensitivity Training” and the exaggerated, almost absurd tone of the slogans, critiquing mandatory ideological instruction in institutional settings. The artist’s signature and website (Mearc.com) appear in the lower right.

Used in op-ed pages, political blogs, or commentary sites discussing military culture, DEI initiatives, free speech, or satire of bureaucratic overreach; targets readers seeking critical perspectives on institutional conformity.
