I think the subtext is something like "Don't let this innocent young lady get her bird all infected with gonorrhea."

I'm sorry...that was disgusting. But you *did* ask.

Or something to do with Red Breasts, Robin.

I think it just refers to the army.

Just to kind of speculate ...

Given the difference in styles of warfare amongst the conflicts specified on that graph ... the doughboys spent most of their time in the trenches, right? If you're not on leave/liberty, or there aren't the customary batch of camp following wenches, that limits one's exposure to those nasty little organisms.

During WW I millions of people were dying from the flu so off base movement was severely restricted.

Those were, dare I say...inspiring!

You know, *we* could do stuff like that here at The Cellar. Or maybe we could just have another logo contest...

Thus inspired by the link posted by bmbg, I took the liberty of surfing up a WWII poster archive site. Here's my before and after version. Maybe it could inspire some other photo-mangling fun.
