Having Nothing to Lose is the New Wealth.

Norwegian soldier, standing guard in Somalia in 92/93. 

he was standing there for almost 2 years?

Ambush… (German soldier taking aim during a training exercise with his H&K G3 rifle. Note that little piece of metal under the clawed scope mount and near the ejection port. That is a welded on shell deflector the German military had issued and added onto some rifles. It’s meant to control/redirect ejected brass in a more uniform pattern. The G3 has a rather violent ejection of spent casings making it very visible from a distance. Not a good thing when you have people shooting back at you.)
