General Feel

Most posters made war seem like a wonderful thing to be a part of. The soldiers looked brave and healthy, and were fighting for their country. War was usually glorified, the men in posters handsome and healthy. However, war was gruesome, scary and often deadly. By playing up people’s consciences, the war effort would be fueled. Statements like “Do it for your country” or “Be a hero” made war sound like a brave thing to do.
