There were many different types of Propaganda Flyers that were used in Vietnam but this is an actual Propaganda Flyer that I picked up while we were on patrol, a Search and Destroy Mission, inside of North Vietnam in August of 1969. This particular Mission was called "Pink Panther". I do have the interpretation if anyone is interested?

Sgt David G Duchesneau - Sergeant; The suggestion to have them printed with an ink that contained chemicals which caused an itching skin rash if exposed to fecal material was (in my opinion, unfortunately) disapproved.

I still think that the psychological effect of the VC political officers demonstrating their contempt for America and then spending a couple of weeks scratching their ass at every opportunity would have been worth it. Especially if the leaflets had been over-printed with "DO NOT WIPE YOUR ASS WITH AMERICA" in bold letters.

Sgt David G Duchesneau - Sergeant; During WWII squirt dispensers of "poo spray" were handed out to the people of countries occupied by the Japanese. The intention was that children would spray the stuff on the pants of Japanese (particularly officers). The resulting odor would have caused the recipients of the spray to smell like they had defecated in their pants and thus "lose face".

I don't know how successful it was, but it was done.

Those are great. I remember coming across some, but it was a long time ago and if I remember right we used them for another purpose on occasion..
