This was also a part of the 1960's. American Infantry taking time to enjoy those groovy C-Rats. Soldier Chow taken in a defensive trench during the Vietnam War.

Sorta like today ...

The guard let him go to a prison camp unharmed. In interrogating prisoners each side in the Vietnam war occasionally resorts to terror."

These are some Vietnam draft cards. During the Vietnam war the government was in need of so many soldiers that they had a lottery and brought any man healthy enough into the war.
