Counter-argument: they were keeping their own morale up.

Not to mention your inability to see extremes that indicate intent.

What extremes?
It's an empty coffin, they weren't actually on the detail (if they were, they'd be in dress uniforms).

There's far better things to be upset about than the posting of a meaningless picture of troops goofing around.

This picture, from another thread, is far less appropriate:

… and even it, by itself, shouldn't be grounds for DD or BCD as neither is criminal [in any sense] and neither is harming any actual person —— are they tasteless? Yes. Do they show a lack of composure? Yes. Are they [in isolation] worthy of sudden and intimidate termination [discharge]? No. Do either rise to the level of warranting death threats? No.

Hell, there are many, many issues that should be addressed before harping on lower-enlisted screwing around — like the mettle of the high-ranking officers and their [lack of] commitment to the Constitution.
