During the Covenant War, the combination of completely new opposing forces and various unfamiliar players on the allied side occasionally caused some confusion and uncertainty on the battlefield. To allay this, the WDF's morale division came up with the idea of borrowing a page from the U.S. government's playbook during the Second World War, when it was feared that American troops (not being terribly worldly chaps, for the most part) might not recognize their allies, and so around the WDF Tactical barracks and the crew spaces of WDF and USAF ships, posters like this one started appearing:

There were those who thought the entire campaign was too corny for words, and many who suspected that the whole thing was a joke. Nevertheless, interservice friendly fire incidents did decline by over 70 percent, and the few surviving posters are highly collectible in the early 25th century. I suspect Sgt. Barlow has one. :)

Well, I was just waiting for my copy in the mail. But I wonder, how long does it take to get from Earth to Deck 12, SDF 17?

Also, I figure that Tuncer has a copy of the Sangheili enemy version. That he uses as a dartboard ever since they came back and whooped on him without properly challenging him. :)

Yeah, the one with the Russian soldier on it has pretty abridged copy, but for brevity's sake you can see why they did it. This man is your FRIEND for the moment | He fights against HITLER and right now that's good enough yeah? would be typographically cumbersome.

*shrug* sorry G, but not even Hank Arrons hit EVERY ball out of the park.

(Just 700+. without the help of 'juice'.)

So, consider this an inside the park off the back wall triple. Still good, just not the one everyone remembers. ;D

Got a smile out of me, I'm just naturally quiet. Sorry.

I originally glanced at it between multiplayer games in Halo: Reach, wherein I rather flagrantly ignored the poster.

This man is a SPAWNCAMPER

He fights for A GOOD KILL/DEATH RATIO
