# Coalition leaflet on the Afghan National Army and a better future (Afghanistan, c. 2006-2007)

Bilingual Pashto and Dari leaflet. Both sides carry the line, in the description's translation, 'The soldiers of the Afghan National Army are striving for a better future for all Afghans.' The tell is the unspecific virtue word 'better future' attached to a named institution, an image-building message for the Afghan army rather than an argument.
