Not sure I consider him "traditional art," but I've always loved Wilson. He was probably my favorite cartoonist growing up.

From the date I was thinking Vietnam, but with the ruined city on the horizon maybe it's about mutually assured destruction / nuclear war.

I'm familiar with it, but this image just doesn't say anything to me.

The guy is an idiot? So what.

America likes to say they won the vietnam war, when in fact they lost. Thats the joke here.

I read it more as a political win that ends in destruction isn't a win for the grunt on the ground.
