I just like how Jimbo made the Vietnam war sound like a fairytale story kids would love. Every metaphor is just brilliant. For instance, Jimbo came out off a "Ferris Wheel", which probably means American ship or helicopter that got Jimbo to Vietnam. The "log ride" both Jimbo and the man from the car mentioned was probably those helicopters that sent the wounded to the hospital.
Ned got shocked and turned into a vegetable was not because of the plastic frog, it's probably due to the PTSD when a grenade thrown by Jimbo exploded in front of him.
Thanks South Park for being so brilliant at making sorrowful things so funny and meaningful at the same time.
