What they called Cluster Bombs in Vietnam created what medical personnel named "football wounds" from the resemblance of the stitches to football lacings. The bomb would send so many peices of shrapnel into the body that the whole body would have to be opened in a long incision to repair the wound, creating the characteristic appearance after stitching.

Do these Cluster Bombs resemble those in Vietnam?
