It's true. The photo was published on cryptome.org a couple days ago, alon=
g
with about 40 other pix, all showing action by the 1st Infantry Division's
First Battalion, 26th Infantry. According to that caption, the GI was on
break, sleeping, when the action occurred. It also said the boxers were "I
Love NY" boxers.

There's also a negative side."
