# Việt Nam Cộng Hòa trên đường chiến thắng năm 1966 (The GVN Marched Steadily Toward Victory in 1966)

Three photographs (an advancing soldier, a rack of captured weapons, a crowd of ralliers with raised hands) sit beside a bar chart of 1964, 1965 and 1966 totals under three headings: lives, weapons and ralliers. The text claims over 57,000 Liberation Front and North Vietnamese fighters eliminated, over 20,000 weapons seized and over 20,000 enemy ralliers in 1966. A rising bar chart and photographs carry the whole argument, with no figures for the government side's own losses.
