Description
this is a photograph of a sign posted trying to prevent venereal disease while in Korea. On the left is a silhouette of a woman, a soldier in the center, and another person pointing to the woman. The text of the sign is on the right and reads: "Why Accept This? It is a sucker bait. ARE YOU ONE? The Facts are: 1. No rotation with V.D. 2. Imperfect children. 3. Permanently sterile. 4. Become a useless & costly burden." From: Gene Putnam
