This is a cartoon of the infamous photo of a S Viet Nam officer shooting a suspected VC prisoner. So that is why it appears that way.

Those of us who have been around a few decades remember that photo.

I seem to remember that the shooter was the chief of police of Saigon and that the shootee was a captured viet cong guerilla that just killed a south vietnamese captain and the captains wife and daughter. I think this happened during the TET offensive.

Can anybody confirm this?
