Killed water buffalo
Description
Original caption: "Da Nang - Airman Second Class James M. Long Jr., left, 23, of Florence, Miss., holds up the head of the water buffalo he was forced to kill to protect Vietnamese Air Force Airman Second Class Trinh Han Cuong, who smilingly assisted him. The crazed animal was slain after it ran through the main gate to Da Nang air base and rampaged down streets, charging pedestrians and cycle riders." An American and a Vietnamese soldier stand in tall grass holding a dead water buffalo. They both hold rifles.
