Op zijn helm staat in eenvoudige, handgeschreven letters: \u201c<strong>War is Hell<\/strong>\u201d. De foto werd genomen op een airstrip in Phuoc Vinh, Zuid-Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Lange tijd bleef de soldaat anoniem, tot hij decennia later werd ge\u00efdentificeerd als <strong>Larry Wayne Chaffin<\/strong>, toen 19 jaar oud. Het beeld groeide uit tot een icoon van de Vietnamoorlog, omdat het de wrange tegenstelling toont tussen jeugdige onschuld en de harde realiteit van oorlog.<\/p>\n<p>Van deze foto bestaat ook een later ingekleurde versie, maar het origineel is in zwart-wit.<\/p>\n<a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-home\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/\"><span class='mb-text'>HOME<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udcc5 18 juni 1965 \ud83d\udccd Phuoc Vinh (Zuid-Vietnam) \ud83d\udcf7 Horst Faas \ud83d\udddfEen jonge Amerikaanse soldaat&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":394,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vietnamoorlog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":396,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312\/revisions\/396"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iconicphotos.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
