Mar 24th, 2017: Propaganda Posters

I'm struck by the similarity of form, if not message, between the two lower right posters.
One seems to warn of anarchy or rebellion.
Is the lower one touting solidarity?

The "Hunger Breeds Madness" it's hard to read the lower part but it says America's food saves the world. I guess the idea is if we feed the world they'll stop fighting each other.

The "Don't Let Up", I see the GI has knocked the Hun down and and ready to kick the Hun's ass if he tries to get up. I guess the message is yeah, were winning but keep the food coming because the fat lady ain't sung yet.
