If that infantryman really is drawing a bead on a sniper, then in that position he's a sitting or kneeling duck.

PAO puke: "Show me how you did it so I can get a photograph. I'll put you in all the news papers. You'll be famous over night!"

They aren't aiming, the ones that are aiming have their heads down with cheek weld. The ones with head up are pointing. That's just a posed exit from a chopper anyway...just staged practice.
