Trivia
- The band was designed to hold a cloth camouflage cover to the helmet as well as foliage, in order to blend the helmet shape and color into the surrounding vegetation. In Vietnam, this band more commonly held cigarettes (as the Soldier does here), insect repellent, or an extra rifle clip, as shown in the movie Full Metal Jacket.
- The "Ace of Spades", also known as the "Death card" is featured in many movies about the Vietnam War. The symbol is also depicted on various unit crests, special operations privately-made patches, collar insignia, and on flags and painted vignettes on military aircraft and gun trucks.[1] In the Second World War, the Soldiers of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the American 101st Airborne Division (AKA the "Screaming Eagles" whom the Soldier refers to) were marked with the spades symbol which was painted on the sides of their helmets. It was used to represent good luck, due to its fortunate connotations in card playing.
