Description

Depicts several Vietnamese woman, one with a child on her back, carrying an M16 machine guns, walking through a rice paddy field. The pagoda in the background has been replaced by a giant Coca-Cola bottle, symbolic of American war imperialism. The accompanying text on the poster states that the 'drive of the US is to replace traditional status values'.
