One grenade would get them all. This looks like a serious clusterfuck.

Never mind on the question, my cherry ass finally seen it, no forward assist or dust cover.

I, umm, once (well, maybe more than once) had to run up a hill in college hollering "bang, bang" carrying one of those things with a bunch of clueless fucksticks.

In addition the number 2 man is "leaning" against the wall, are these supposed to be "regular army or irregulars", the rear security is not on the ready for either of the two windows he's standing practically straight up with his feet almost together as opposed to a crouched position, he has his weapon at waist level, nobody is has the roof covered at all, the point man has his weapon past the door so if it opens from either direction it will get knocked aside (he might even drop it if it were to open fast).

This is bad, hopefully they're actors for a new Army Movie from the National Lampoon group, called Middleastern Vacation.

The 1 Man is a fucking Captain!

I do gotta say,
Lefty Killer #3 man is probably on top of it :)

The fucker IS training as he fights at least..

Being a lefty myself I KNOW why his thumb is wrapped around that side.
Because he HAS shot a M16 or derivitave a time or two and knows the only way to engage that selector lever is with the thumb around that side.

Going to the range many times, doing reflexive fire, or a SPEND-X at the end of the fiscal year...
You guys know the drill. Fire, safe, ready, fire, safe, ready fire, safe, etc..

The outside skin of my thumb would actually tear away from the thumbnail and bleed, hurt like a bitch. You can't use the bottom of your thumb like you righty's get to do.

fuckers.

Ok...here are a few obvious ones:

Why is a Capt. in the lead.....his guys don't like him ?

No eye protection.

No gloves.

No body armor.

Where are the secondary weapons ?

Who has the spare ammo ?

Why are they ghosting themselves against a steel bldg. ?

Why is Pops looking at the sky ?

Is the door the only threat to #1 man ?

Why do they pause in the open at this point ?

Gravel has telegraphed their approach and position.

If this is a bldg. entry, where are their lighting systems ?

Looks like a metal container against a steel bldg. so not even sure if they are making a bldg. entry, one container door is locked down.

If it is an entry, why does #3 man still have his weapon on safe ?

Why do #2,3,and 4 not have their weapons at the ready pos ?

It won't take a nade to kill them...one bad guy on full auto will do it.

No eye protection They all qualify for Bifocals

No gloves. Leathery sun aged skin doesn't count?

No body armor. I think they have been mumified, so what's the issue?

Where are the secondary weapons ? Only the unaware discount walkers as secondary weapons

Who has the spare ammo ? Ammo my ass, who'd got the Crew serve Geritol Bottle

Why are they ghosting themselves against a steel bldg. ?

Why is Pops looking at the sky ? He's fairly close to receivng a visit from the grim Reaper by the looks of 'm

Is the door the only threat to #1 man ? No he's also got to worry about Altzheimer's

Why do they pause in the open at this point ? They are taking a rest break

Gravel has telegraphed their approach and position. So has the noise of creaking joints

While the comments are generally what I was expecting, I really wanted to get the H8 Train rollin on this one because these guys would definitely be under it.

Aren't they in line to take the CWST? Isn't that why Gramps is wearing one of those anti-seasickness bracelets (the liberace version) ?

Along the same lines here is another photo pulled from foxnews on the same page as the previous photo:
