Why does it seem like every Tom & Jerry writer wants to make Tom suffer as much as possible? In this episode of Tom & Jerry Kids, Tom served in the military and was ordered to catch Jerry. However, the officer girl that Tom had a crush on didn't want him to hurt Jerry, so he let him go instead. This only got Tom reprimanded and punished, and after being punished several times, the episode ends with Jerry getting promoted and going on a date with the officer girl Tom was crushing on.
