Young Guns
This American soldier is terribly young, and yet he had to face one of the most difficult battles in American history. Soldiers were drafted onto the battlefield at a very young age on the Viet Cong’s side. Young children were sent into war zones with rifles and equipment that weighed more than they did.
Pure Exhaustion
The climate was only one factor that wore down American troops in Vietnam. This soldier is the image of what it’s like continuing to move forward even when you’re exhausted. Behind him an Ally tank offers him protective cover.
