Naw, they line up to pose for photos.

Actually, I'm serious.



One objection to the picture, though: they got the water color all wrong. DW's water looks much better.

No way. Not at all like David Hackworth when stationed in Germany after WW2 and expecting a Russian visitor coming to inspect the troops. They didn't paint rotten grass and concrete green for his flyover, and they didn't specifically have Russian speaking US troops front and center for his inspection, giving the impression they were all fluent, smart and super troops. It's just how everything is in reality, like the picture ;)
