Off topic, buy maybe you, as a Vietnam veteran, can help. The picture taken of the Viet cong being executed...the bullet to the side of the head..I think it was in Time magazine so many years ago...wasn't there something significant that happened before the street execution that failed to make it out to the general public. They just saw/read what the journalist wanted them to see. I faintly recall someone telling me that the prisoner had committed a horrible act, but it completely escapes me.
Sorry, I can't help you. After my tour in Nam, I spent nearly five years trying to put the whole experience behind me. And to this day, I don't watch movies or read books or articles about it...I don't need any refresher courses, thank you. If ya know what I mean.

Sorry, I meant to post that to the person you were responding to - I feel bad after I re-read your reply.
Forgive me
