Tony vaccaro's pictures were taken after battle as he was also a soldier who was fighting in the war and his main priority was to fight. Whereas Robert capa could take photots during the war as he was not a solider and was souly there to take photographs. Some beleive that Robert Capa's photographs were staged.
