"Peace" is not just "Peace"

(Sorry with the bad quality)

For decades, people have been posing the "V sign" when taking picture. Do these people really know what's the meaning behind? If you're not sure, the information below might helps you out...During World War 2, a guy called Winston Churchill popularized its use as a "Victory" sign (for V as in victory) initially with palm inwards and later in the war palm outwards.
Later in the Vietnam war, it became the sign of peace(long story short), and it was a sign of surrender means "peace and friends".
And now, it means nothing but just a hand gesture. But posing the V sign with the back of hand is humiliating others. My friends don't know this so don't blame them...

P.S. I don't do V sign...mostly
