I can't believe Her Majesty would condone such laziness from her Armed Forces. Look at them, just lying around...

now somebody needs to post that pic with the "crack shot" sniper team - those were Brits too I believe.
(one guy was on his hands and knees with his rear end in the air, the other guy was aiming and resting the rifle between his cheeks)

Those were the days when riflemen were expected to hit what they aimed at with one shot not spray and pray.

Mescalero and gamekeeper - You guys beat me to it. That was my thought too. Well, right after the "well, Fred has completely forgotten about the camouflage ... but who cares ?!"
Then I see him peeking over that fence ... and ... well, I'm sure there's a police report about the incident somewhere.
