One of the characters asks the vets "Kill any babies?" As early as 1966 U.S. Troops were being called "Babykillers" by some opposed to the war. On December 26, 1969 the "And babies" iconic anti-Vietnam War poster was released. The poster uses the now infamous color photograph of the My Lai Massacre taken by U.S. combat photographer Ronald L. Haeberle in March 1968. It shows about a dozen dead and partly naked South Vietnamese women and children in contorted positions stacked together on a dirt road. The picture is overlaid in semi-transparent blood-red lettering that asks along the top "Q: And babies?", and at the bottom answers "A: And babies." The quote is from a Mike Wallace CBS News television interview with one of the soldiers, Paul Meadlo, who participated in the massacre. This poster would haunt many vets after the war, insulting their service and equating all of them with the dishonorable actions of a few. Not until the era of Vietnam movies and China Beach did America begin to seriously attempt to embrace the Vets and repair the rift between the men who served there and the Country that sent them there and abandoned them after they got home.
