Could your childhood sweetheart be frolicking with Frenchmen while you're fighting on the front? This Psywarrior essay and image archive chronicles the uses of sexually charged propaganda in the psy-ops of wars past. (Hat tip: Boing Boing)

    The headline was a play on "pornography" and the link was identified as being to an "image archive" of "sexually charged propaganda;" I figured the "NWS" was pretty much implicit. Also, I've worked for various libertarians for long enough that my sense of what constitutes "work safe" is a little warped. But I am your humble servant; I'll make a point of marking stuff explicitly hence.

    Pretty neat, I didn't realize so many existed. Is it just me, or did the US pieces seem to play the perversion card way more than the others?

    ...then little "Mike" asked one fine summer's day in Flint, Michigan in 1962, "what did *you* do during the war, Daddy?" And that young boy's question, and his father's answer, became the inspiration for a long career. Because inquisitive little "Mike" grew up to be - that's right! - progandist filmmaker Michael Moore...

    And now *you* know...the *rest* of the story.

    What then is the psychology of Jody Cadence?
