Description: A Salvadoran army medical officer examines the dead body of a mortally wounded army soldier at the morgue of the military hospital in San Salvador, El Salvador, September 26, 1984. Lack of opportunity for social and economic ascension led many young Salvadorans towards military inscription. The twelve-year armed conflict would claim over 75,000 lives before peace negotiations concluded in 1992.
