Bạn còn đợi gì mà không trở về với gia-đình? (What Are You Still Waiting For? Return to Your Family)
A Vietnamese-language poster (code SP 811) shows a hunched, ragged Viet Cong soldier with a rifle and grenade, and two thought bubbles: a burning, bombed 'secret zone' with a body on the ground, and a waiting mother, wife and child. The text asks, 'What are you still waiting for, that you do not return to your family?' Death and destruction on one side and home on the other are set against each other to move the soldier to leave.
