Perusing the blog of a friend’s friend with Flikr photographs of posters in a WWII museum led me to look for this treasure - man, I love this.

There’s a larger archive of them at that domain.  I was moved by this one displaying a painting and poem, An Open Letter to the Unconquerable Greeks.  And intrigued by this one.  I haven’t perused the tenth of these posters probably.

Where has the world gone that gave so much place for posters like this?  Nowadays so much of it is nay, nay, America the evil, the guilty, and crazy delusions that we should do things like give our enemies the right of American citizen trials.  Uh.. they aren’t American citizens, and they kinda want to destroy our country?

And about that last poster, are folks careful about what they write in war time anymore?  Not so many any more, and not so much.
