2) Don't post with the intent to spread propaganda you agree with or the intent to degrade propaganda you disagree with.

This World War II era poster, created by the U.S. Army in the 1940s, features a determined, wounded soldier with bandaged hands lying in bed. With the caption "Keep Pitching with BOTH HANDS Brother," the poster aimed to boost morale among injured soldiers, encouraging them to stay resilient and contribute to the war effort despite their injuries. Using a baseball metaphor, it conveyed that every soldier, regardless of their condition, had an essential role to play. This piece of wartime propaganda highlighted the unyielding spirit of the soldiers and the importance of perseverance, serving as a motivational tool during a time of immense sacrifice and struggle.
Sinopsis. The documentary tells the story of Antolín Jiménez Gamas, a revolutionary who joined the ranks of the Northern Division along with Francisco Villa. When the ships Potrero del Llano and Faja de Oro were sunk, Mexican President Manuel Ávila Camacho declared war on the Axis powers on May 28, 1942. Antolín Jiménez decided to form the Legion of Mexican Guerrillas, a militia made up mainly of Mexican charros that would come into action in the event of an eventual advance by the Axis armies on the American continent. The proposal was accepted by Ávila Camacho and he managed to gather 150,000 militiamen in 250 points in Mexico. The story was discovered decades later by his grandson, Fernando Llanos.
