The current image on The Vietnam Vet is already in use on Survivor's Guilt. Alternate suggestion from Born on the Fourth of July.

That's not bad...the current pic works really well for both tropes and I'm not sure which I'd prefer to see replaced.

The suggestion isn't as good as the current on either, but it works.

Bump. Other thoughts or suggestions?

The suggestion works, although if it does say "veteran" well, the "Vietnam" part isn't necessarily obvious.

I may have something to propose regarding the image. Mind if I get back? I need to find it.

Got a couple of manga shots from Black Lagoon since it has characters who served in Vietnam. If approved, may need to crop it a bit.

Looks like there's a very similar pic to the Rambo one already in use on Returning War Vet.

This has been gathering dust for a while. Crowner and be done with this?

Crowner's made. The only option I've left out is the Rambo one because of similarity to the aforementioned pic on Returning War Vet.

I'm not so sure about Rambo or Travis. Looking at just the images, there's nothing aside from the field jacket that denotes being a veteran. Firth Blood and Taxi Driver explicitly state they served, but those images don't.

It's too bad about the rule on duplicate images, since the current is perfect for both tropes.
