Supporting the troops
Here.
The original photos are from this photo site. To be fair, note at the bottom that the photographer disavows these actions.
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.
(A Roman Centurion in a letter home from North Africa, 3rd Century)
