Propaganda

Jim Everson's posting reminded me of leaflets that we also encountered from the National Front for Liberation.

I served in RVN from 1967 to '68 with 3rd Amtracs. Our CP was at Marble Mountain.

When on patrol south of Marble Mountain we often encountered propaganda left by the National Front for Liberation. A bamboo stake split at the top and driven in the ground would hold the leaflet. Often, the portion of bamboo driven into the ground would be holding the spoon of a grenade in place. If you pulled the stake out of the ground… BOOM. To my knowledge, nobody got hurt by this particular booby trap because we were familiar with it.

The scans of these leaflets are very good. The poor quality is exactly what their printing press produced.
