Yes but the French soldier (cheese eating surrender monkey more like) will fart in their general direction should anyone come near the bridge.

Either that or he'll surrender to that line of trees in the background.

I can't see anybody, is he behind the trees?

anyone have a small shrubbery?

It is not a soldier, it is just normal in Afganistan to walk around with machine-guns.

The SAS-one is indeed unfindible

There is more that one SAS in that pic. There is also a gherka cutting the frenchmans laces and tieing his feet together as well.
