Blast from the Past

Vietcong woman with M72 LAW
We presume the woman is with the Vietcong because she is dressed in black, but she's wearing a dress. What's up with that? And the M72 is an American weapon. What's she doing with it? Who knows? It was a long time ago and far away. The LAW is a single use Light Anti-tank Weapon, fire it once and throw the launch tube away. So she might be just be holding a discarded launch tube without the rocket. Via Liberalguy

  1. I wonder if her outfit is dark blue or green, and the neckerchief/scarf makes her look like a girl scout.

  2. Now I notice the rings around her cuffs. I would think that would be much too fancy for traipsing around the jungle.

  3. Nobody mentioned the ammo belt across her chest?

  4. It’s a school dress ... Vietcong women fighters would dress in upper class catholic school girl cloths to hide in daylight , when doing Intelligence or carrying out clandestine attacks .
