Vietnam Photos

Via Kottke who came to the link through Colossal, this LiveJournal post has one of the best collections of Vietnam War photos I've seen. I've reposted some of the best or most interesting below (many more at the LiveJournal link) -- and, incidentally, on this day 66 years ago (i.e. November 23, 1946) the French opened fire on the city of Haiphong in Vietnam killing 6,000 Vietnamese; this incident was an attempt by the French to reassert control over all over their former colony although the popular vote in the north had been for the Viet Mihn -- the refusal to cede control led to rioting, the shelling, and the Indochina and Vietnam war(s).
