USArmy Boot Camp in photos
GRUNTS is a close up collection of photographs depicting Vietnam era future soldiers whose training experiences are extensively captured by Ed Ekstein's camera lens. It is a comprehensive photographic examination of the ways Vietnam War bound troopers were trained. While the photos are great, the captions leave quite a lot unexplained and unexplored.
