Hãy tìm học một nghề trong Quân-đội Việt-Nam (Go and learn a trade in the Vietnamese Army) (Vietnamese poster distributed in Vietnam)
A Vietnamese recruitment poster. A smiling young man in a beret points at the viewer, ringed by outline drawings of men at trades: sewing, driving, shoe repair, radio repair, bricklaying, welding and blacksmithing. The headline urges the reader to learn a trade in the Vietnamese Army. The tell is card-stacking: army service is presented only as vocational training, with no mention of combat, and plain-folks imagery of ordinary tradesmen makes it look like a workshop.
