A 1974 promotional booklet for the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) unit at Syracuse University.

I got great satisfaction from this project. It was the Vietnam era, and I was solidly against that unnecessary and unwinnable war waged by a lying administration which was killing off so many American youth. This piece walks a line between promotion and parody. The ROTC folks loved it for their purposes, while others thought it somewhat ridiculed soldiering.

Some of the interior spreads are below (the booklet turns sideways inside).
