"Chính phủ sẽ không bỏ hay nhường một tấc đất nào cho Cộng sản", 1967 US poster: A portrait sheet shows a photograph of three

"Chính phủ sẽ không bỏ hay nhường một tấc đất nào cho Cộng sản" (We Will Stay, and We Will Defeat the Enemy)

A portrait sheet shows a photograph of three helmeted U.S. infantrymen on a hilltop skyline under a quotation attributed to Major General Nguyen Cao Ky, Hue, May 1967: the government 'will not abandon or cede a single inch of land to the Communists'. An orange panel reports that U.S. Marines took and held a strategic hill in Quang Tri and that hundreds of enemy troops were killed or wounded. The tell is the named leader's pledge paired with a combat photograph of allied troops as its proof.
