Colonel Loan, one of my heroes.
Here is the actual background to this picture, contrary to what the Bleeding-Heart-Liberals espouse.
The VC under this man's command had just gone through an ARVN compound and killed all, including the women and children. Colonel Loan knew this when this man was bought before him, and acted quite compassionately, I believe.

Colonel Loan was later saved after being wounded on a Saigon bridge by an American MP who got a medal for his action. (New picture below)
