[Photo of Dougls MacArthur with five (American Indian)soldiers, all armed]

Didn't these guys get the memo?

Doug looks quite at ease, with hands in pockets. Sgt Larry Dekin (Navajo) has his rifle unslung at position of order arms. It's either a Garand or Springfield O3A3.

Thanks for the photo.

LOL. Doug looks quite at ease, with hands in pockets.

Just as he always is described when leading trench raids unarmed in WWI or repeatedly exposing himself to fire in WWII. He was without question brave.

Sgt Larry Dekin (Navajo) has his rifle unslung at position of order arms. It's either a Garand or Springfield O3A3.

My guess is because at least three of the men are carrying carbines, the 03A3's would already have been withdrawn and Sgt Dekin is carrying an M1 Garand.
