WATCO enlisting in the army.

Enlisting in the army will bring peace back to our country, bring liberty.

Because enlisting in the army will help us to save our liberty that is being threatened by the enemy.

This poster is targeting men to enlist in the army. It pinpoints the destructive looking enemy that is threatening lady liberty (our liberty). It is showing the need and the urgency to join the army to protect our liberty. The stressed and worried look of lady liberty shows the urgency for the men to join.

Ethos: The source is a very credible one. It comes from the U.S. Army, which has a very long history and experience.
Pathos: This poster relies on emotion the more than anything else. It gives the men the sense of urgency to join because our freedom is being threatened by a foreign enemy. The ape is given the traditional German helm and a club labeled kulture. It makes the Germans seem mean and ferocious.
Logos: This poster does have logic to it. It would be very logical to join the army to protect our liberty that is being threatened.
The poster has sufficient evidence and does an effective job persuading the intended audience. It is also pretty typical; you see a lot of propaganda just like this during war time.
