Read More »The fly is made of buttons, because Velcro and zippers can get dirt and debris stuck in them and become unusable. On top of the pants in the front is Cordura 500, a versatile nylon fabric known for its durability and resistance to abrasions, tears, rot and mildew. It’s sewn into the front all around the edges, double-stitched on the “high-traffic points” and reinforced on the crotch. Silicone that acts as a strong adhesive sealant is then run over top of the stitching to protect the threads, helping with durability. Then it’s painted to takes the shine out of the silicone. I installed zippers on the sides of my pants up to about the thigh so they were “easy on, easy off.” On the cuff of the pants, I installed a strap that goes under my boot like a stirrup so the pants don’t ride up when I’m crawling backward. I removed the side cargo pockets and put them on the back of the thigh so my spotter – not me – can access maps, face paint or equipment – anything one of them might need on a mission. Right below the butt we sew in netting, which is also covered in silicone and then paint. You want to make it nice and strong so you can pull on it all the way around. I run the netting all the way down to the bottom, although that’s not required. Hair ties are then installed throughout to hold natural vegetation from whatever environment you’re in. We run this 70-30 rule – 70% natural vegetation, and 30% jute, which is the burlap artificial vegetation you see hanging off the pants. Some people also install padding on the knee area. The front is also covered in Cordura 500. The stitches are also covered in Shoe Goo and paint. All buttons instead of a zipper or Velcro, again, because of the dirt that can gum those things up. Pockets from the shoulders have been turned upside-down and installed on the forearm so that when you’re laying down you can easily access them from an opening that’s at your wrist, not elbow. Loops are installed on the sleeves so you can hook your thumb in. That way, when you’re crawling, your sleeve doesn’t pull up. Netting is installed all over the Cordura, sewn, siliconed and painted. The netting comes up over the shoulder. Hair ties also are installed for vegetation. I also installed two Velcroed map pouches around the rib cage. The back, like the pants, is also covered in netting, burlap jute and hair ties. But there’s no actual [battle dress uniform] in the back – just the netting. It can be either rubber or cloth netting, but it’s meant to be breathable. They can get hot and heavy. More pockets are installed on the inside. It’s a typical “boonie” hat, as they call it – the wide-brimmed bucket hats that are camo. Netting is sewn at each point on the top side, glued and spray-painted. Jute and hair ties go on the top, too, like the rest. They want the netting and jute to be long, but not past the middle of the back. If it’s too long, it can catch on stuff when you’re walking and/or crawling. You want it long, though, so it can be lain across your rifle and block the shadow on your face.

They were the Viet Cong, VC, or just Charlie, from Victor Charlie.Between 1954 and 1975, United States service members found themselves fighting Charlie, an enemy who was both everywhere and nowhere. More than one million of enemy combat soldiers died in the name of communism and nationalism. They killed nearly sixty thousand United States soldiers and close to fifty-five thousand South Vietnamese soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire were killed. Armed with weapons from the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China, they were a formidable force. Using propaganda and violence they attempted to control the people of Vietnam. They were trained as conventional soldiers and as guerrillas. They were the North Vietnamese Army, the NVA, the People’s Army of Vietnam and they were the People’s Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam. Collectively the United States often called them the Viet Cong. It was commonly shortened to VC, which in military alphabet code was spoken as Victor Charlie. It was further shortened to just Charlie. American soldiers called them Charlie, they called themselves liberators. Rarely seen in the West, these original art propaganda pieces show a chilling reality of an enemy strongly motivated to defeat their foe and control the minds of their people. Art for the sake of war is a powerful way to explore the true identity of combatants. Art communicates the worldview of its creator and the power of their commitment to their cause. It is both the symbol and creator of identity; showing the identity of its creator and creating identity for the viewer. Through the art they produced, this exhibit will explore the United States’ enemy during the Vietnam War and the methods they used to mobilize both a conventional and unconventional fighting force.
