In propaganda is aim is usually toward dehumanizing and diminishing the enemy. This piece goes the other way and shows a frighteningly capable Japan, even after the defeats at Tarawa and Guadacanal. This clearly looks to be designed to shake the home bodies loose of their complacency in an effort to shame them into buying more War Bonds.
War Bonds would be an interesting prospect today. As long as we are privatizing much of our military effort abroad, why shouldn't handy investment bonds (drawn on the immense capital development of War Profiteers like Haliburton, KBR, Xi, et al) be made available to the American public? It OUR bloody war, too!
