We Quit the Lao photo poster (script not identified)
A blue-and-cream leaflet-poster titled in NARA's catalogue 'We Quit the Lao'. A group of ten uniformed men stands and kneels in a palm grove around rifles stacked upright and laid on the ground, with a headline in curled script above and a paragraph of text below. The tell is testimonial: the men are shown as their own evidence for the message, but the text on the sheet is not legible to this cataloguer, so the argument is not reconstructed here.
