Is Eddie Adams the reason that cause Vietnam's south become invaded by Communist ?

General Loan was a war criminal who shot an unarmed prisoner of war in the head in breach of the Geneva Conventions. The prisoner was tied up. If it happened now he would be facing trial before the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague. The photograph of the shooting had major impact around the world but it did not cause the end of the Vietnam War - the reasons for the war ending were very complex. But it was a very shocking image.
