During the 1960's Bill Mauldin visited Viet-Nam. His newspaper ran a big ad campaign.Click the picture to enlarge.

During his visit to Viet-Nam Bill drew a cartoon; his bosses wanted it to look more like combat, so the second (and final) cartoon was the one published. Notice the great details on the M-14.

My father bought one just after The War. I wore that book out. To this day, I truly admire Mauldin's sense of humor.
