Why is the US dropping leaflets? Isn’t Afghanistan 70% illiterate??? What good does it do to drop literature on people who can’t read?
They are using cartoons and pictures as well as writing. It’s SOP when dealing with areas that have low levels of literacy.
plus i hear they make a tasty stew…
And you can stuff them into flesh wounds to stop the bleeding.
…not to mention de monsta spliffs, mon!
(During WW2 British and US black propaganda was printed on ciggie papers and dropped in German-occupied areas. Subjects included how to fake illness, generally malinger, etc.)
