 Homer is then shipped off the next morning to [[Fort Clinton]], where they undergo rigorous exercises (except Homer, as apparently his "punishment" for acting like a clown involved eating donuts while watching his fellow soldiers do pushups, and having his feet massaged).
-At the post Homer infuriates the [[Army Colonel|colonel]]. While the majority of recruits are assigned to the frontline infantry&nbsp;(Including Rainier Wolfcastle, who was told he would be making recruitment films), Homer is assigned to OPFOR during the Army's war games along with the other recruits considered too stupid to be cannon-fodder. At the war games, instead of blanks like they should be using the army is using live ammo with the intent of actually killing them, Homer, thinking it was Chinese New Year, accidentally exposes his unit's location by launching a flare. The flare blinds the soldiers, who were all wearing night vision goggles. Homer and his unit soon escape into Springfield with the Army close behind. The Colonel orders his troops to invade the town, thanks to leverage from the National Broccoli Day proclamation. The Army declares martial law in Springfield. Homer's unit hides in [[Moe's Tavern]], but Moe betrays them in exchange for a large wad of cash. Homer escapes through a manhole in the floor of the basement and makes his way to his own home, although the rest of his unit is captured. Soon, he is pursued through the house by a UAV until (in a scene reminiscent of the [[Looney Tunes]] gags) he blows it up in a closet. The Colonel then begins to round up and detain all men who are "Fat, or bald, or have ever been amused by the antics of Homer Simpson." This includes [[Comic Book Guy]], [[Barney Gumble]] and Superintendent Chalmers, who states that he's bal''ding''. Because of the round-ups, Homer hides out at the Retirement Castle, forced to listen to Grandpa talking about anyone else's relatives.

 Marge rallies the Springfield community with a phone tree to coordinate resistance to the occupiers, in order to make a plan. The citizens spike the town reservoir with alcohol, intoxicating the occupying force. The colonel's resulting hangover is so great he reluctantly surrenders to the townsfolk, stipulating only that Homer finish his enlistment. Homer does so by becoming a recruiter at the Springfield Mall but doesn't get much success.
