source: reddit

Although everyone in America was routing for the soldiers in Vietnam, Playboy was the magazine who went out of its way more than anyone, to make sure the troops are feeling the warmth of their home country. Owned by Hugh Hefner, a seasoned veteran who saw his fair share of fighting in World War II, Playboy delivered refreshing, true, honest articles about politics, news and events in America right to the frontlines. And there were the playmates of course. The magazine’s reader’s letter section was full of messages from soldiers, which helped Americans understand what is happening in Vietnam.
