It is yet another common Picture Pastiche, the most popular Subversion of which is to use the pose as an anti-war protest instead. Other parodies substitute Uncle Sam entirely with some other character wanting you to do whatever they want, whether it is to join some other war effort, to go about with some form of community service, or simply "to shut up."
