A SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIER
This is OLD.
I think I first read this in 1969 at Ft Bragg.

Wow, I remember seeing this as a young pup; never knew the artist. Almost like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth interprets the Green Beret. Pretty freakin' cool to a recent HS grad.

That and a ton of other's like it were in all of the shops on Yadkin road towards the end of the RVN conflict.... I once had a few.... no idea where they are now.
The King/Queen of battle were popular as was the MACV oriented ones...all comical but with a great deal of truism involved.

Yep I had that one and a couple of recruiting posters. They are all long gone.
