Ahhh, nursing for GI's and Veterans. A topic worth a lot of attention, especially historically. here is part of my link collection.
And singularly, not one, at least overtly, "Hot Lips Houlihan".

Print date of the poster, 1942. Not much more than a year into it. The water cooled Browning needed steel, the jack hammer needed steel, the compressor to run it - the tracks and ore carts - the manufacturing plants - transport ships...... and soon enough that steel was going world wide to Allies!
A little poetic license; "They were BAD, they were Nationwide....."
Who do you think could energize this today?

Hammers do not hit fingers on their own!!!! It is the people using them that are responsible for the damage they do!!!! Used responsibly, hammers are a great tool. I would not be without one, more is better!!!:DQuote:

I never thought to demagnitize that effing hammer,( no not that hammer,, the one that wacks my fingers) perhaps Ill just throw it away,it's probaby 60 years old all steel with rubber grip.it's very nice other than the magnitizem. I would try to demagnitize it but I dont think my fingers could stand the test to see it it worked or not. and what a shame if it demagnetized my fingers instead!!!:sweating:that wouldent be good...for either of us.
Just use the pliers of your pocket multi tool. this will at least move your fingers out of range of the magnetic fieldQuote:

Cool rabbit hole. Don't know much about locomotives/ trains, yet measures to make it work are 100% interesting; in the midst of everything else going on.Quote:

A good source of WWII production posters is the Getty Images resource. Here's just an example...

This is my favorite one so far. I love it. I'm going to make it my laptop background.

Insanely racist. I love it. A friend of mine is Asian, grew up in North America and only speaks English. Zero accent of any kind. She still answers the phone "heir-ro" just because she can get away with it. I'll send a few to her.Quote:

Unit 731 made Josef Mengele and the nazis look kind in comparison. I've never been to Japan, but apparently Unit 731 and the atrocities are relatively unknown over there. One of those things that brings shame that they just pretend didn't happen. I get that it was a few generations ago, but there are dangers around ignoring history. Those who cannot remember the past are... something something. I'm sure the rest of that quote isn't important.Quote:

He looked it over for several minutes then said I'll say one thing for those ( too many expletives to repeat) they sure have learned how to make use of all the money we spent on rebuilding their crappy little county, that's a fine looking little motorcycle. now when are you going to get you another real motorcycle.Quote:

Wonderful example of positive variety propaganda; still conveys the exact same meaning today.
