The story

What Is Censored About?

The premise of Censored without spoilers.

Private Snafu writes to his sweetheart Sally Lou to warn that his unit may be sent to the South Pacific, but a censor blocks every uncensored attempt with traps, contraptions and even a hawk‑assisted pigeon. At the last moment Technical Fairy, First Class, steps in to deliver the letter, though he knows he’ll hate himself in the morning.
