Every Veterans Day, I scour FaceBook to give nod to those who have served. Usually, I leave a "like" vote or a flowery comment. But, this afternoon I catch this. I did a double-take and said to myself something's not right. The pic is posted on one of my friend's page. Two part question: 1.) What's wrong about this pic? and 2.) Any suggestions on how to address this? I smell a rat. But, I thought I'd turn this over to the crowd before I burn a friend. If it helps guide your comments, the photo is actually the spouse of my friend. Photo would have been taken in the early to mid-90's. Fire away...

Camo looks like European crap. Those are blank rounds as best as I can tell and everyone knows you keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you intend to fire.

Well, my eye is always drawn to that wayward finger on the trigger. Always good for a forehead thump or two. All the rest is just pap.

That looks like a "What if" picture. In the original Red Dawn movie, a young Russian soldier gets a picture set up to be able to send something back to family and friends about how they're helping to conquer America.

Reminds me of a Che Guevara poster from the 1960's before he was gunned down in Bolivia by Bolivian Special Forces Capt Mark Strobl Mark Strobl]. She shes to have switched out the flag and replaced the AK67 with an M-16. But she has the same facial expression and a similar beret.
Thanks for tagging me SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4"

This photo was taken either 80's or 90's during Basic. I took one of the same in 1990 while at Basic Training in Lackland AFB. It was something a lot of people did. However I never used it cause it was cheesie. I used my official photo instead
