This is perhaps the most striking image of the war. Here you see enemies cradling each other. Often times, American soldiers were compassionate toward the Viet Cong. They admired the dedication and bravery required for young Vietnamese men to go to war for their beliefs. This particular VC continued to fight for three full days while his intestines were tucked inside a cooking bowl strapped to his stomach. The American soldiers are offering support and comfort during his final moments.
