I doubt that this is a staged photo. The unit is probably on 50/50 watch at the moment and this Marine does what millions before him have, catch a nap wherever you are at. But what it also says to me, is that our military is bogged down in a WW1 'trench warfare' mode - because our civilian leadership lacks intestinal fortitude to do what it takes to secure a real victory. And so, our Soldiers and Marines will continue to catch rest when they can.......God bless them and them safe - and hold our politicans accoutable at their time of judgement.
