Odd that they would leave the ammo there

Do you think this may have been set up this way just for the photo op?

Leaving ammo behind with a rifle....seems a little odd.

Not if they JUST moved the body. Otherwise, it looks like when we dug in, our gear would be almost exactly like that. Except for the rifle and bayonet. That would be frowned upon.
