"You are in love with intelligence, until it frightens you. For your ideas are terrifying and your hearts are faint. Your acts of pity and cruelty are absurd, committed with no calm, as if they were irresistible. Finally, you fear blood more and more. Blood and time."

I don't know.
Idiot, Surfer Boy sports one of those wispy, bad teen-age goatee-ettes.
Maybe they're rent-a-cops - I mean "contractors".

To the best of my knowledge, it's either from Cambodia, or maybe Thailand, at some ranges where tourists can actually use military weaponry for a fee (a guy I "know" did this when on R&R in Thailand, before heading back to bangladesh to the local french cultural outreach crap he worked for).
So, no, I just think that they're run-of-the-mill civilians, tourists having a bit of testosterone based fun. The fellow who saves the day is most likely a range employee/guide.
Plus... Reminds me, couldn't find it... there's a vid somewhere of a couple swiss soldiers in bosnia or rather kosovo, maybe, making fools of themselves by having an offensive grenade blow up a deep puddle... the prone grenadier breaks the ice, drop the grenade, roll over, and the thing goes off maybe one, two feet from him, spreading muddy icy water everywhere, to the giggles of the camera holder.
IIRC, that vid made quite a stir in Switzerland, where soldiers, especially the few ones in peacekeeping missions abroad, are NOT supposed to behave like idiots (this came on the wheels of a big brawl/assault outside of a brothels, in which some swiss were involved).
