That shooter lived to a ripe old age and died in Falls Church, VA about 15 yrs. ago.

On our dime. A friends father was the General's CIA handler from the day of the picture until he passed. We take good care of our allies

The guy he shot richly deserved it. That photo and film clip don't bother me at all.

I didn't see the clip but the story of that photo was told to me by the nephew of the shooter, who's a friend of a friend. I ran into him at my friend's gun shop, one day. I seem to recall the guy being shot was part of a VC attack and had been the one to pull the trigger on the shooter's brother. Upon capture, the shooter did what I think most of us would prefer to do, were we in that same position.

this. the picture only shows a moment of extremis. it does not show that the man being shot was a traitor and caught red handed. as i recall, he was personally responsible for the deaths of many directly due to his traitorous acts.

In terms of view numbers, the third is a very distant third.
