This goofy eyed world. The silent film What Price Glory? (1926) was a successful variation of this, taking a pair of hardassed marines named Quitt and Flagg and letting them bounce off each other as they ran amuck across the armed forces and the world.
In 1917, Wilkie and Mitchell are inept lifeguards attempting to avoid the war. When a man is drowning, they allow Hogan, who is a tough sergeant in the Army Air Corps, to rescue him because they cannot swim, and they then take credit for the rescue.
