The young chicks normally die in such situations but since the African penguin population is declining SANCCOB rescues and rears the young over a two month period. SANCCOB relies on donations for its survival and needs to raise 60,000 Euros to rehabilitate these 400. EPA/NIC BOTHMA

Maybe its a shared loadout for everyone and the mags and 203 ammo will be used by anyone in the unit who needs them. You can never have enough 203 rounds and the grenadiers rely on others to haul them.

Image from video provided by Italian SKYTG24 network showing Italian photographer Gabriele Torsello during an interview on May 10, 2006 in his home in Alessano, near Lecce, southern Italy. The Italian Foreign Ministry said Wednesday Oct. 18, 2006 it was looking into a reported demand by the kidnappers of Torsello in Afghanistan that Italy hand over an Afghan convert to Christianity Abdul Rahman in exchange for the hostage's release. The Foreign Ministry said it was doing everything possible to verify the demand, which was reported by an Italian aid group, Emergency. Gabriele Torsello and his Afghan translator were kidnapped Saturday as they drove from Lashkar Gah, the capital of the southern Helmand province, toward neighboring Kandahar.

Is the woman crying? It looks like she is but she might not be...:| Either way, the uniforms look way too big on the soldiers. Just like in the concentration camps :|

They might have an "one size fits all" policy.
Would be cheaper that way and more egalitarian. To bad it doesn't apply to the leader as well.

Nope when I was in S.Korea the men did the same.

Correct, and like I said it's a sign of frienship, nothing else.
