Eddie Adams General Loan Vietcong Execution Photograph Myth

The real story of the Eddie Adams Vietcong execution photograph: Eddie Adams 1998: "Two people died in that photograph: the recipient of the bullet and GENERAL NGUYEN NGOC LOAN. The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera. Still photographs are the most powerful weapons in the world. People believe them; but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths. ... What the photograph didn't say was, 'What would you do if you were the general at that time and place on that hot day, and you caught the so-called bad guy after he blew away one, two or three American people?'.... This picture really messed up his life. He never blamed me. He told me if I hadn't taken the picture, someone else would have, but I've felt bad for him and his family for a long time. ... I sent flowers when I heard that he had died and wrote, "I'm sorry. There are tears in my eyes.' Yellow advocacy-based journalism seriously distorted the reality of the Vietnam War and continues to provide bogus frames of interpretation that influence modern memory. The true story of General Loan and the Eddie Adams Vietcong execution photo is a clarion warning to test the media in its claims and not be taken in by cleverly constructed T.V. propaganda advanced by vested interests.
