Vietnam quagmire; October 13, 1964

Identifier: mus_aaec0680

Description: From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eddie Germano. Uncle Sam is wearing a military uniform and carrying a gun while wading through a swamp, which is labeled "Threats of new coups" and "Misuse of U.S. aid." Around him, the trees are labeled, "Rebellious tribesmen, Young military discontent, Disagreement among generals, Lack of communication, Khanh's shaky position, Religious fanatics, Civilian unrest." A snake with hammer and sickle symbols bars his way, but he doesn't see it; he is looking in another direction. Uncle Sam says, "How the heck do I get out of this mess?" The cartoon caption reads, "Vietnam quagmire."
