Soldiers "Sweat It Out" in Any Man's Army: modern warfare moves on many things, but the fighting in Vietnam again proves that sweat is still one of the ingredients. His face wet and his jaw clenched, this soldier of the 25th infantry division breathes heavily as he rests briefly in high temperatures and high humidity during a recent patrol north of the base camp at Cu Chi, 25 miles northwest of Saigon. Blazing sun and heat above the 100 degree mark also are enemies soldiers must face in South Vietnam, March 19, 1966
