Credits:
Sept. 15, 1970 A victim of American bombing, ethnic Cambodian guerrilla Danh Son Huol is carried to an improvised operating room in a mangrove swamp on the Ca Mau Peninsula. This scene was an actual medical situation, not a publicity setup. The photographer, however, considered the image unexceptional and never printed it.

It’s incredible, the image is so hard hitting to me.
I cannot imagine that guy had great chances of survival. Any swamp water in his wounds would likely cause a serious infection.
Better than nothing I guess
If the context was not provided, I’d assume this is some kind of art performance. Or a scene from some kind of movie.
