Enlistment
The motto of the War Department during World War 1 was "Work or Fight" to encourage Americans to help in the war with labor efforts or by enlisting in the army.
The propaganda poster shows a chubby, lazy American dozing off. It says "Don't just sit around and do nothing." This statement has a negative connotation. The poster then gives the option to "Work" or "Fight". It shows a happy American heading to the factory to work and a happy American gunning down an evil demon with the German Nazi sign on it.
