Looking back through history, what is your FAVORITE genuine military poster? Can you share it? Could be propaganda or educational.

I like Rosie the Riveter because this shows that the entire nation was pitching in the war effort.

I like the one you posted, CH (MAJ) William Beaver. I've never seen it, but I'd say it's still relevant today: Beware the liberal! :-)

CH (CPT) William Beaver,
You realize that your "authentic, historical" poster is bogus, right?

Here a a real one

CH (MAJ) William Beaver, the most famous one of all, of course! Originally published as the cover for the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie's Weekly with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?" This portrait of "Uncle Sam" went on to become, according to its creator James Montgomery Flagg, "the most famous poster in the world." Over four million copies were printed between 1917 and 1918, as the United States entered World War I and began sending troops and materiel into war zones. Because of its overwhelming popularity, the image was later adapted for use in World War II. Upon presenting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt a copy of the poster, Flagg remarked that he had been his own model for Uncle Sam to save the modeling fee.
Interesting that the most famous and widely recognized and accepted depiction of Uncle Sam was the face of the artist! It's always been my favorite wartime poster, and I had a huge framed copy of it on my wall long before I ever enlisted.

The poster provided by the OP is not a genuine military poster, but rather a military propaganda style poster from a liberal bashing website.

Anyhow, here are 4 posters from WW2 I like as a CBRN soldier:

CH (MAJ) William Beaver I LOVE the old military recruiting posters! The first one is hanging up in the Naval War College Museum. The other pictures are some of my favorite posters that I decorated our office with.
