Military propaganda missions never drop pictures of dead people on the enemy. Dead people have escaped. Instead they drop pictures of people with horrible wounds and missing limbs. The fear of being disfigured, apparently, is more frightening than death. So pictures of babies with bloody stumps for legs or a bandages soaked bright red wrapped around their heads float through the air along with pictures of radiation victims and men who just happened to have gotten shot in the balls. Sometimes this makes a people stop and reconsider their stances on things. Sometimes it pisses them off because they happen to be the father of that bloody mess of a baby, or the husband of the wife with half of her face blown off. Sometimes it starts a civil war. Sometimes nobody cares because their lives are shitty enough as it is. Why worry about some fucking asshole whose missing an arm, and has second and third degree burns on the rest of his body? Sometimes the people joke about how that exact thing in the picture happened to a guy they know, and how that guy had it coming, for whatever reason.
In Cambodia a woman nailed her daughters foot to the floor because she stayed out too late one night. The daughter must have let her. Probably for her own good anyway. You know how mothers are.
Sometimes the military doesnt drop pictures. Instead they drop leaflets over sites that theyve bombed. They say things like, Dont rebuild this site or Shooting at our planes will cause more bombings. Other times they drop food. Sometimes the starving, war fatigued people on the ground burn the food. Sometimes they rebuild the sites anyway.
In Alabama a man taught his Doberman pincher to attack black people. He ran a small convenience store right on the Mississippi state line. His son came to visit him around Halloween time with his wife and three boys. The second and third children both dressed up on Halloween night even though there wasnt a neighbor for miles. The youngest dressed up as a skeleton. He painted his face and hands white, and everything else black. The second child had decided to be an astronaut that year, so what if his friends said it was gay, theyd never find out. They went to play outside; the youngest wanted to play with the dog. When he called the dogs name the Doberman attacked them. He tore out the youngests throat while the second child tried to pull him off. He bit the second child who went inside and got the parents. When they got to the boy the Doberman was tearing off one of his tiny hands and growling. The boy was six years old. The Doberman still lives with the old man and is still trained to kill black people. They went through a rough patch, but he is still the old mans best friend.
During the Civil War leaflets were scattered that claimed that the North had freed all slaves. The slaves in the North werent told.
A man in Vermont swallowed his gold tooth. It passed and was sold to a street kid at half price. The street kid still wears the gold tooth with pride. He thinks it makes him look rich.
A man in Idaho was caught by one of his migrant workers shoving a cornhusk up his seven-year-old daughters vagina. She told the worker it was her fault, she was too pretty. The father agreed with his daughter. He shot the worker in the face while the worker tried to get some cash out of his lucky find. He told his daughter it was the workers fault, and she believed him.
