I'm teaching Robert Bly's "Counting Small-Boned Bodies," and am trying to
find some examples that would show the Vietnam War from the other
perspective -- specifically, propaganda or other materials that would give a
sense of how U.S. soldiers' bodies were perceived or portrayed. Any sources
or leads would be appreciated.

Thanks!
