Propaganda

The only reason I had ever joined the war was because of those posters that were always hanging around town. They were everywhere in the stores,schools, almost anywhere you could look there were these posters about the war. whether it was fighting in the war or working in an ammunition factory or buying victory bonds there were posters every where. They all presented ideas that the war was some sort of respectful and honourable fight and most of us believed it. It was not only the posters that made me go to that war it were also the television. I had seen multiple commercials of victory bonds and brave men jumping in the middle of no mans land and shooting all the Germans. But glory was not the only the propagandists used there was also posters that made you feel guilty. Much like the poster I had always seen in the local corner store it said "The men are fighting why arent you" and displayed a picture of a lone man fighting the Germans. It were these types of posters that made me feel like I was not doing my part in order to stop the war.And also the propaganda posters were able to make my friends and family join the war so then it made me feel even more guilty that my friends were fighting the war and I was sitting at home doing nothing.
