Philip Jones Griffiths 2

lives in New York, USA. Born in Wales

"from the book: Vietnam Inc.

1 - U.S. Combat troops arrive, outnumbering the enemy 3 to 1 and possessing the most sophisticated military hardware; the job seemed easy. Earlier, spirits were high among the troops, intoxicated as much by the spectacle of their own strength as by the cold beer delivered to them daily.
2 - Rice is the staple diet. But it is more than food to the Vietnamese – it is their purpose for existing. A symbiosis exists between the society's religious beliefs (its moral values) and its task of growing rice.
3 – Vietnam 1967.
A Marine introduces a peasant girl to king-sized filter-tips. Of all the U.S. forces in Vietnam, it was the Marines that approached "Civic Action" with gusto."
