    Description

    Measures 1-3/4", black ink on white, no manufacturer or bug.
    A back-handed tribute to the World War I & II posters designed by JAMES MONTGOMERY FLAGG, which depicted Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer, with the message "Uncle Sam Wants YOU!," this pin shows the Flagg version of Uncle Sam pointing a revolver at the viewer.  Although not using the motto from recruiting posters of previous years, the intent was the same, though many draftees during the Vietnam War did feel as if they were being forced into the U. S. Army at gunpoint.
