Fainting on the Job

I'm not usually one to peruse another person's pain but for some reason, I am mesmerized by these photos of soldiers in full ceremonial dress having a bad day. My favs: number 1 in Norway, number 7 in Spain and number 22, which is the photo of a lifetime: British soldier in mid topple.

There are so many of these where the other soldiers are not aiding their comrade. I'm curious if it's because it happened so fast, because they are also suffering from heat exhaustion or if they're under orders not to break ranks.

Poor guys (and gals!) Must have locked their knees on a hot day . . .

Haha! Wow--I didn't realize it was so commonplace.
