The tag attached to this man's collar identifies him as a "V.C." or Viet Cong suspect. Viet Cong was the name applied to a variety of categories of southern insurgents. Since the man is young and appears to be in civilian clothing, he may be merely a draft dodger without identity papers, a communist civilian auxiliary, or a part-time or full time soldier of the National Liberation Front which was controlled by the Vietnamese communist party.
