See a portion of them at The Big Picture.

+Jade Folstad That's not a dad and his baby…
No it is a warrior & and orphan!
+Jade Folstad from the story: "Staff Sergeant Edgar D. Bledsoe, of Olive Branch, Ill., cradles a critically ill Vietnamese infant. The child was brought to Fire Support Base Pershing. This image, with this caption, was originally published in Vol. 3 No. 53 of Tropic Lightning News, December 30, 1968"….
I just #facepalm 'ed myself into the next room. oh boy.
+Robert Mooers how do u know the story!:o
+Boshra N if you click on the link, it takes you to the page with the pictures, and there are captions for each image…
Yea i knnow ,not my question though
Their servers must be getting hammered. Having a hard time getting there even from Google search.
But the few I saw we're fascinating.
+Boshra N – then your question is….?
Ur info from this web or u had info before?
Anw its not a biggy ..thx anw
Although it's not funny, I am hoping +Jade Folstad was being sarcastic…
Thank you for sharing these photos. As I went through them I thought about to myself how these ppl who serve for the government have any sense of sanity. Can you imagine having to be this "killing machine" and yet struggle with emotions, feelings, and your own values and morals.
That would be unimaginable to have to go through that. You are so right Jo P. thx for showing this Guy Kawasaki
good lux
Nice pic.
Wow, very gritty and intense images. This will be a really significant contribution to the visual archives of Vietnam. They're well composed, too.
I don't know between unitestate and vn,why they battle of war?
Still learning
We should never forget what a tragedy that war was and should never had occurred.
How many people were killed because of arrogant power of America
and how many American soldiers were remained depressed and hopeless after that war
and also the Iraq war was no fun!
neither for innocent Iraqi civilians nor for American soldiers!
take a look at this post:

Awesome
I served in that war, We who survived, were spit on and treated bad when we came back, not like it is now. It was a horrible war, for the GI, as well as the vietnamise people. I still carry the scars of pain from that time.
Are veterans deserve so much more from us when they come home. I wish so much more for them, i wish what they deserve!!!!
Thank u Marie, none of us choose war, but as an American, I have and had a duty to serve, and uphold the constitution of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Freedom is not free.

Where can I see more of these?

This photo is a fraction of what really happened over there. John Kerry (and many others) spilled the beans long ago. My uncles served in Vietnam, they said everything Kerry mentioned is true. In my opinion these feel good photos and stories are a cover up. Now fast forward to Iraq.
I remember the Vietnam War. I was just a kid but some of the news at the time was quite graphic.
hate war . glad we don't have a draft
It's hard to believe one soldier or one steel factory worker can take such powerful photo! ! Amazing! But, we should think about WAR
No more wars please!
CANT WAIT TILL MY COUSIN COMES HOME TO OHIS THE NEW ADDITION TO FAMILY
Trời ơi sao khủng khiếp thế ?
That's a fact the ones of us who made it back home were treated like S.

Your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you. Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them the rest of their life sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn’t mean they are bad. It means they are human.
