"FUBAR" comes up in the movie Saving Private Ryan. It's not a plot point, but it's used to illustrate the disconnect between one of the soldiers dragged from a rear position to the front line, and the combat veterans in his squad. If you haven't seen the movie, you should. The opening 20 minutes contains one of the most terrifying and intense combat sequences ever put to film.

Honestly not sure if this is a joke I'm not in on.

There are documented uses of FUBAR back into the '40s.

What do you mean? The movie storyline takes place in 44 at the Battle of Normandy.

I must've misread. I thought you said that it comes from the movie rather than comes up in the movie.
