Typical Vietnamese Army Soldier: This grim-faced Vietnamese Army soldier is shown on an American helicopter prior to a strike against Viet Cong Communist guerrilla forces last weekend in the Mekong Delta rice country near Tan Hiep, Vietnam. The solider has had 20 years Army service. He fought with the French for eight years against the Vietminh and since then, in the same area, with the Saigon government against Communist guerrillas
