# 'Como un Solo Hombre' [As One Man]

A grey-white soldier with a bayoneted rifle strides across a blue field, his trouser legs merging into the outline of Central and South America. The title 'As One Man' fuses the soldier and the hemisphere into a single body (identity-fusion) and puts a unity phrase over the picture with no policy content (glittering generalities).
