During the Vietnam War, the AN/PVS-2 "Starlight Scope" gave American troops a critical edge in night combat.

Standing before it, you can imagine a Marine peering through its green glow on a dark ridgeline near Khe Sanh, or an infantryman scanning a tree line outside Da Nang—proof that technology, even in its early form, was already changing the nature of war.
