I should not be so snorty at the fate of the two middle Belarusian honor guard soldiers draped in the Belarus state flag and the Minsk city flag below. It happened to me at OCS. A flag slowly wrapped my face and I stood for the whole ceremony like that. Still. . . heh heh.

The Belarus state flag, left, and the Minsk city flag cover the faces of Belarusian honor guard soldiers as they attend the celebration of the anniversary of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Minsk, Belarus.
