# Korea Exhibit poster No. 2c: weapon and casualty photos (Thai, Bangkok)

A Thai-language exhibit sheet with two photographs joined by a red arrow. Top: a uniformed American soldier holds up a drum-magazine submachine gun at a microphone; the caption says American soldiers examined Russian machine guns used by North Korean and Chinese Communist soldiers in the Korean war. Bottom: a soldier lying dead on rocks, captioned 'This is the result of the Communist atrocities.' The tell is outrage-bait: the arrow links a weapon to a body and assigns blame in the caption.
