Description
An anaemic soldier emerging from the jungle. Tears are coming from his eyes and he appears to be screaming out in pain. He is holding a gun and his shirt is open, revealing his potruding ribs. A helicopter is in the upper right background and several small headstones surround the jungle and soldier. Three cans, including one labelled 'Agent Orange' and another 'Malethine' are behind the soldier emitting gases.
