Anybody else get the creeps from this picture?

I doubt there are soldiers anywhere else in the world who keep to themselves, in straight lines during a chow break. They remind me of droid soldiers.

well, considering the brand new uniforms of those guys, I guess what we see is a boot camp and the sergeant, as any drill instructor on our lovely planet, will gladly kick the ass of any of those young gentlemen who breaks the line, even only one inch :wink:

China is on it's way to becoming the next world leader in manufacturing, I don't think they're going to be jeopardizing that position with military actions but rather by becoming a 1st world country by virtue of economic strength. I'd strong suspect that China will become a world power through the board room rather than the war room. Rather than English being an international language of commerce, we may all have to learn Mandarin Chinese one of these days :cry:

Soso, like "ours"....

Do you know why "Your" helmet is nick named "Fritz" by the troops?!
Because the shape is copied by the German WW2 helmet...

:wink:
Would have been cooler if they copied the German WWI helmet... y'know, the one with the big spike on top! Then the jokes could really roll...
