    “… and THAT’S why it’s totally justified for me to have murdered thousands of my own citizens, rather than behave like a democratically elected leader”.

    This motherfuckers in this image need to hit the drill field again, hard. Not a single one is standing at the same position, hands and fingers are all over the place. I’d ask what kind of military this even is, but they appear to have a mix of Soviet bloc surplus SKS’s so that answers that question.

      These guys aren’t in some kind of parade or ceremonial display, nor do they appear to be at a guard post.

      They’re just soldiers standing by. In that situation there’s no need for a uniform display to impress anyone. Keeping soldiers at drill precision 100% all thetime is a good way to fatigue soldiers who don’t need to be perfect quickly.

      Besides which, all of them have a hand near their trigger guards and most have hands resting on the barrel of their weapons so are reasonably prepared if someone does try something.
