Đoàn-kết chống cộng-sản phá-hoại (Unity against communist sabotage) (Vietnamese poster distributed in Vietnam; NARA title: Viet Poster #4)
Four men in different dress (office tie, conical hat, open collar, traditional round cap) stand in front of a blue silhouette of marching soldiers with rifles and bayonets. The text reads 'Unity' above and 'oppose communist sabotage' below. The tell is bandwagon: men of different walks of life are shown as one body, and 'unity' is the virtue word attached to the cause.
