Propaganda

1) What ideas, information, or rumors does this artifact of propaganda attempt to spread?

The propaganda makes fun of when the U. S. flag was raised at Iwo Jima in World War two. It tries to say we won the war but did we really "win" the war. The U. S. and other countries, ally or not, lost millions of people all together.

2) What institution, cause, or person is it trying to help or hurt? Explain.

It is trying to hurt the government by saying we didn't really win the war and shouldn't go to war because we only lose thousands and millions of innocent men.

3) What do you think is the most persuasive element of this propaganda? Why?

The most persuasive element of the propaganda is the scythe in the soldiers' hands instead of the flag. It shows the murderous side of war and is very convincing to me.
