I think that's the guy who is on the front cover of the book, "The War".



I never noticed until just now, but it looks like he's wearing rubber gloves.

Body removal?

[Paul S.]

There is no sign of a glove cuff visible on his forearm. I suspect his hand and arm was moving fast enough, that at a slow camera shutter speed (distant shot, long lens, etc.), his hand appears smooth and rubber-like.

Looks like a glove on his left hand, if that is not one on the right he has some serious forearms. One tough looking Marine!

I'm saying long rubber gloves on both hands.....Frank

[Bill Hollinger]

Gloved up! Either body removal or chemical.

You're right. I didn't see the wrinkle half way up the left forearm when I first looked at the picture.

[Bill Hollinger]

You know, the look on his face and the pen in his pocket suggest body removal. Bob, I think you were spot on with this!

[Paul S.]

Anybody would be hating life doing that job.

God bless him.
