Whats going on?



In todays Daily Express, who have been giving us reasons why these photos are faked, on page 5 is a picture of 'a soldier in Basra'

What struck me was how clean, nay immaculate, his SA80 was, no dirt, no scratches, positively pristine. Also, although we can see the whole of his right arm, despite being told that is where soldiers wear their unit insignia, there are no badges!
Added to that his clean, well manicured hands with slightly limp wrists (see the pic), this picture REALLY looks like an office worker, trust me.

Just struck me as a bit strange that these features in one set of photographs make them fake and with the same features in a different photograph we take as true.
Under the title, "ON GUARD: A British soldier on patrol after a shooting in Basra"
Is he really?
