Dragging a vietcong soldier [1965]


This is a truly sad picture but unfortunately we don’t have much information about it. At the time the public saw it, it made quite a buzz, people realized how wrong the war is. The picture shows American trooper dragging the body of a vietcong soldier with their tank (or APC more exactly).
