    Are you deliberately futzing around with title words?

    That man's mustache is oddly large and long for a regular soldier. What sort of detail is this, I wonder?

    Staypuffinpc - I should have done a better job of making the description clearer. It should have read "Soldiers resting and playing Backgammon after a long night and day of receiving and taking care of combat casualties." The unit was a foward combat surgical unit. The two soldiers had been on their feet for 20 + hours non stop doing surgery and caring for wounded soldiers and civilians. As for the mustache, just call him "Hawkeye".

    TonyCooper - If "futzing around" means what I think it means, please feel free to "futz around" and offer another one.

    The soldiers were on a break, not a brake. A brake is something that
    stops movement. When you make a mistake like that, don't blame me
    for thinking it's a deliberate play on words.

    You have a good image that confuses the viewer by your title.

    Medical unit

    I thought it was probably a medical unit because of that. Hawkeye seems like an appropriate name.

    Actually, I'm with Tony on this one; because of the title, I was looking for the "brake" connection from the get-go (which actually works in this picture, if that was your intention, though it appears a simple semantic error)
