On second thought. They’re described as parachute operators in an armored vehicle. It makes sense that they’re sitting on their asses in an ATV probably tracking some busty “hostile.”
This is very Italian.

Lol, your comment and these pics remind me of line from a book (The Day After Armageddon), “they put down their cafe au lattes and killed with gusto”.

Not buying it. I see no mopeds, cigarettes, or espresso in the photo.
