>> [_] Anon 2427035 I loved how so many cartoons from this time doubled as bond ads.
>> [_] Anon 2427085 >># They took it then too, difference is we were at FULL SCALE WAR then. The 2nd FULL SCALE WAR in a relatively short amount of time and that shit ain't cheap so why not crowdsource from the "freedom" minded rather than bilk everyone even MORE?

Making profits while the country was at war was widely considered to be socially and morally unacceptable.
