To me picture 1 is pure Americana; it mixes patriotism and product placement in a picture only the US could get away with; the pictorial representation of the “Warrior spirit” methinks! Hark, is that an eagle I hear? Can I smell apple pie?
Picture 2 from FM 21-6 How to Prepare and Conduct Military Training (1975)
Picture 3 from US Navy SEAL Combat Manual (1974)
Picture 4 from ST 31-180 Special Forces Handbook AKA Poor Man’s James Bond Vol. 4 (1965). Sorry about the poor quality.
