What exactly is this about? This does appear to be a genuine military setting, presumably somewhere in Iraq. But I can't imagine the Pentagon is too keen on men in uniform holding hands like boyfriends. Although heterosexual male hand-holding is perfectly acceptable in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures, it's fairly taboo in the United States and Western Europe.

That issue aside, I wonder if whoever designed the Under Armour-style camouflage long-sleeve shirt that the bloke on the left is wearing knew how hot it makes a lad look when he has a nice broad, muscular chest and a flat stomach. His tag says his name is Bland, but he's anything but.
