Not only did most adult males of Schulz' generation have some level of military service as a result of WWII, but the Korean War was still being fought during this period, and the draft was in effect. Military life, therefore, was a far bigger part of the American experience than it is today... so the humor of this strip would have seemed particularly relevant.
