It may be the camera angle. Dunno.

I think a number of combloc countries use the SKS in ceremonial displays, sort of like the Marines doing ceremonial drill with M1’s.

[ArrogantBustard]

Yes ... The Russians and many former SovBloc eastern European countries also use SKS for ceremonial rifles. They balance well.

US Military also sometimes uses "obsolete" rifles for ceremonial purposes. See, for example, these Soldiers:

“OOOOOOOOOOOH! They look so pretty in those uniforms!”

[Dinah Lord]

Oh quantim - you cracked me up!

[mass55th]

Obama to photographer: "Hey! How about getting a shot of me in front of these Chinese terracotta warriors."

[quantim]

Thanks for all the kind words folks! Feel free to pass it around!

[antisocial]

“lol at the soldier making a goofy face behind his back.”

He’s thinking, Man I’d like to jab him in the a$$ with my bayonet.

[Penn_Cajun]

There is nothing like the sound those weapons make when handled by a great drill team!

[TalonDJ]

I thought that most Japanese were on the short side.

Well since there are only CHINESE in the picture I don't know what your point is.

[basil]

Chinese, Japanese—whatever. (I guess that’s racist—sorry) I still thought that Asians in general were fairly short people. All of my Asian friends are pretty small people.

[EternalVigilance]

I can’t find anything funny to say. By the time Obama gets done destroying America’s power, one of those same soldiers might end up killing one of my sons.

“You walk on our wall again, I eat your liver.”

Wow! All these Mexicans must work at the Chinese restaurants here in Germany.... (cant remember who made the Germany joke first in another thread, but credit goes to you.)

[TigersEye]

And the guy to his right looks like he's thinking of bayoneting him.

Everyone there has a funny look on their faces. I wonder if 0ba-Mao did something stupid right before that pic was snapped!?! I wonder if any of those guys is still alive today!?! Or short a kidney.

[scoobysnak71]

Barack does his best to entertain the troops at the Chinese USO show by impersonating a China-man (or Jerry Lewis).

[ThePatriotsFlag]

(I am the First Pacific President so ..... MINE! MINE! MINE!)

[TigersEye]

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Gotta see post #9, pandy.

[TigersEye]

Wow! Even in that pic there are at least five guys breaking formation by turning to gawk. Not only are they doing that while 0ba-Mao is reviewing the troops (like him or not the U.S. Pres. is the biggest foreign dignitary any country could host) but behind the back of China’s pres Hu Jintao. I think when the wheels of AF-1 leave the tarmac departing China there are going to be a lot of hurting ChiCom soldiers.

[Daffynition]

I was thinking more like "dead-men-marching."
