Description
Four contra soldiers with hard hats and firearms stand at the top of a hill. The gloomy clouds and sky makeout their dark silhouette. The silhouette of the upperbody of a soldier is seen at the bottom of the hill. A tall, thin tree is also seen at the far left of the hill. The soldiers are members of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN in Spanish), whose members are informally known as "Contras."
