Jake: you definitely want to go to your library and get a copy of Sgt. Bilko. It was originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, and I think it was published sometime in 1945 or thereabouts. It would definitely serve your thesis and may give you some ideas about applying it to his more widely published work. Good luck. Say whatever you think is justified by the text, but yeah, be careful about making certain kinds of leaps.
