When I first saw this photo, I was in westpac flying interdiction missions between utapao Thailand and cam rahn bay. It’s my humble opinion that this one photo turned the American public totally against the war. It gave many of us in theatre serious pause. It may be the most important war photo of the late 20th century.

It should be added that if I remember correctly it was not a U.S. raid that cause this it was a RVN attack.

There is some in-between story as well that can be found online. The Vietnamese Communists used her for propaganda purposes. She was permitted to study (nursing) abroad in Communist countries. Eventually she escaped their clutches and fled to the West.

SVN AF dropped the napalm in support of ARVN troops on the ground...The mission was entirely a SVN operation with no US involvement...
I agree the photo was influential in turning American opinion negative, and the Leftist media made the most of the opportunity...

Inspiring story that you won’t see in today’s MSM, it doesn’t fit the narrative used with the original picture.

Christians turn the cheek but not for decapitation and rape.
The Crusades was a response of necessity.

I have read quite a bit lately about how Viet Nam is becoming quite the political, social, and economic powerhouse that can’t be ignored.

Nor arguments here, I presume. That woman's example makes our differences seem so trivial...
