Trivia

The comic strip "Sad Sack" was started in the 1942 by Sergeant Baker, which is also the name of Buster (Tony Hale)'s sergeant. The title of this episode pays homage to the comic. The title is also a not-so-subtle reference to the true nature of the photos that depict what is first thought to be the Iraqi countryside.

Goofs

At the beginning of the episode Michael is making scrambled eggs. He scrapes the eggs into a plate leaving the pan empty. The plate is later taken away by Oscar. Then Michael comes back to the pan, which is magically full of eggs again.
