I was in junior high school when in December, 1941 we were all herded into the auditorium to hear President Roosevelt on the radio asking Congress for a declaration of war. They were the war years and every American was involved in the national defense in one way or another, even us teenagers. Unlike today, we were ALL called upon to sacrifice (food rationing, collection of scrap iron, gasoline rationing, shortages of all sorts, a national speed limit of 35 miles per hour!, etc., etc.) and posters of this sort were very useful in keeping us focused on winning the war. They served the nation well in those days! I remember those posters as well as the times quite vividly.

Balderdash! War is an entirely wholesome activity that makes men out of boys. (This has become a necessity because of the trend public schools are tending toward recently, making men out of girls and neuters out of boys.) Without war, (and genetically engineered food) we would die out as a species! Oh yeah, and the Earth is 6,000 years old. Take that science! O'Cain/McBama in '08! But, seriously, we're screwed. It's not even worth debating anymore.

The US knew the Japanese were planning to attack Pearl Harbor and we let it happen so that we could get involved with the war. For those of you unaware, the "history" taught in American high schools is nothing more than propaganda. Take a few college history courses and see what you can come up with. Propaganda now is completely embedded into our culture. That is why it appears we don't have propaganda, its integrated with our news seamlessly. Democrat/Republican Two parties one goal. Media is owned by corporations whose responsibility is to their share holders not the public. Many of the corporations that own our news networks have war contracts. Keep this in mind if you choose to turn the television on. I am surprised by how well this propaganda seemed to work on many of the commenter’s here.

We're often quick to point the propaganda finger at the Nazi regime, but yet...looks like we had it to. Thanks for the share. hmm…interesting.
