Poster has a white background with black and gray text and black image. The bottom has a red bar. Across the top in large red lettering is "Vietnam:" The poster reads, 'Who is the principal terroist? Who is "precipitating" what bloodbath? Two bad arguments/ The Nixon administration claims that the United States continues in Vietnam, in part, because of the "terrorism of the enemy" and because of a fear of "bloodbath" if we initiated a "precipitious" withdrawal. The actual facts, even as preseneted here b Defense Department statistics, show that U.S. firepower inflicts the overwhelming (500-1) share of terror in Vietnam, and that the "bloodbath' is now." The right side has a large black bomb with "9,279,295 tons (U.S.) and a smaller white bomb at the bottom with "17,500 tons NLF-DRV." This is an early use of the word "terrorist" in describing nonconventional warfare. [LMC]
