Right, David Parks wounded by shrapnel and awaiting evacuation from the field in Vietnam. "Every day you go out to kill," Parks recorded in his Diary. "I'm getting a little too casual about death. And I'm wondering if some of our fellows aren't too trigger-happy." From the article "Vietnam Diary," March 19, 1968, edition of LOOK Magazine.
