Good point about it being a stock photo. But, if they were shopping for a stock photo, why not use one like this? Why choose out-of-shape weekend warriors?

The guys in the photo in Post 18 don't look like they're in the service.
-The haircuts on most of them are out of regs.
-The guy in front has cut-off sleeves on his blouse.
-The second guy has his blouse sleeve folded like the Marines but not above the elbow.
-Numbers 5, 6, and 7 are wearing sneakers, not combat boots.
-Only number 1 and number 8 are wearing non-issued cover while the others aren't wearing cover, meaning some (or all) are out of uniform.
-Number 6 has a large non-subdued American flag on the front of his carrier.
-Number 1 has tears in his magazine holder.
