Remarks: Reports currently indicate that the Communist troops constantly complain of their lack of trained replacements. This leaflet is designed to frighten the replacements, and agitate the veteran soldier's attitude.
Artwork: Illustration of bewildered soldiers looking at replacements of half uniformed farmers who carry weapons and farm implements.

Text (right to left):"ANOTHER EMPTY PROMISE
"Where are the highly trained replacements the Communists promised you soldier?
"Usually when you receive replacements they are inexperienced and bewildered--bewildered because instead of finding the 'inferior' enemy the Communists talk about, these replacements find powerful UN forces.
"Most of you replacements will be annihilated in battle, while your veterans who have suffered for many months will continue to carry the brunt of the battle.
"OPEN YOUR EYES SOLDIER--
"SEE THROUGH THE COMMUNIST LIES!"
