    Saigon Execution (1968)

    This picture was taken by Eddie Adams February 1, 1968 at Saigon ,Vietnam del
    Sud .The picture shows the Viet Cong.

    In this picture,I can see two people.I can see that the man in the picture on the left
    has a pistol and is shooting the other man, and it turns out that he is very worried.It is
    seen that at that time they are at war.I see that they go with normal clothes, but very
    dirty.Surely many people death.

    They must be scared ,because they are at war, and they may think that in that day
    they may die.
    They might have been waiting for this news for a long time.This is very sad news.
    It is noticeable that they do not know each other.

    In my opinion, the photo represents a terrible moment.Although the boy in the picture
    was shooting very hard.
