When American troops landed on British soil, they showered their comrades with chocolates, nylons, and cigarettes. There are stories of children being lined up at the playground and having a tall GI hand them Mars bars. They were suspicious right away. A Mars bar was something truly unique. Why were these uniformed officers simply handing them over?

This photograph was taken in 1968 in Vietnam during the Battle of Saigon. This isn’t your typical “battle” shot. It’s not often that “enemies” are seen cradling each other. The Viet Cong, on the other hand, were frequently shown sympathy by American troops. This stemmed from a soldier’s admiration for their commitment and bravery, attributes that are hard to find in the regular government soldier.
