    Practical: some have an arrow on their head, so the enemy knows where to shoot. Even better than Putin’s meatgrinder.

    Gotta wonder how young that one fourth from the right is, (Second from right if you only count the foreground). He looks like he might be 16 or 17 at most. Regardless he looks super young.
