The soldiers were likely dropping by for coffee. One of the Vietnamese women appears to be pealing potatoes. The other two were posing for the picture. A large refrigerator is on the right side.
If you look closely, you can see how dirty the area is. The feed line was coated with red dirt. Everything in fact is coated with dirt. In Vietnam, we all had other things to worry about. No one cared about a little dirt in the food area.
If you had a permanent job on Buttons, this is where you received your three meals a day, every day, for a year. Doesn't look like much does it? Well, I would have given my eyeteeth for the privilege of working on Buttons full-time and eating here for a year. If you had lived and worked in the jungle for two weeks at a time chasing Vietcong soldiers as I had, you would have made the same decision.
