When men get together and point a stick at the ground you know things are about to get serious.
Also the attitude of the shirt sleeves - either rolled to full or to quarter with the mixture of stern and jovial faces can be confusing to the casual observer.
But what if we were to move this scene from somewhere in the middle of a jungle to the middle of suburbia? How much changes if these fellows were learning over a BBQ instead of a battle map? What is clear is the man in charge - the one holding the tongs - is the man in authority. The other chaps look to him and he knows how to provide - whether pushing the pawns of war or the prawns on a Sunday afternoon there is one thing for certain. The one who knows, knows! He displays that quality proudly and the others look to him
