Coalition leaflet "Do not risk your life and the lives of your comrades" (IZ D057, Iraq 2003)
Arabic leaflet for Iraqi soldiers. The front says 'Do not risk your life and the lives of your comrades!'; the back says leave now and go home and watch your children learn, grow and prosper. The tell is the pairing of an implied threat on the front with a family-and-future image on the back, an offer of safety for those who leave.
