Stumbled on this randomly in a quest for military slang ("Na poo). The Wipers Times was put out by soldiers in the trenches in World War I:


Cloth Hall.
Ypres.

Great Attraction This Week
Messrs. INFANTRY, ARTILLERY & Co.
Present their Screamingly Funny Farce,
Entitled:

"BLUFF"

THIS FARCE PROMISES TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS AND A LONG RUN IS
EXPECTED

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose..

The "Betray Us" meme originated on military boards (assuming this isn't Coptix-style disinformation from Pajamas Media):

betray_us

Why do the troops hate America?
