In conditions like this it is easy to understand how soldiers quickly become demoralised. I noticed that there appears to be at least a couple of the soldier's rifles "parked" (tossed) in the snow while they organise a brew. I wondered if there are any recently retired NCOs from either the U.K. or U.S. armed forces who may like to explain what action, if any, they would take if they noticed something similar today. Would it be best to just turn a blind eye and keep your fingers crossed that the rifles would still functioned properly when/if needed or would you take action by saying or doing something?
