The furious clangor of battle stilled, a weary U.S. paratrooper of the 173rd airborne brigade sits in the stillness with head in his hands after an intense firefight between his company and entrenched Viet Cong guerrillas in the Vietnam Jungle on March 1, 1966. His weapon rests on bullet shattered underbush. Casualties in that U.S. unit were heavy on February 27. (Photo by AP Photo)
