Coalition leaflet "It is your national duty to report terrorists" (Afghanistan, c. 2006-2007)
Bilingual Pashto and Dari leaflet. The front says it is the reader's national duty to report terrorists to the National Army and coalition partners; the back says the future of Afghanistan depends on the reader's support. The tell is the duty frame: the request for informants is wrapped in patriotic language and 'terrorists' is left undefined, so the reader decides who counts.
