I love that they felt the need to spell out that the soldier doesn't have some kind of perversion

The true story behind the image is quite different.
A clue that things may not be as they seem is that generally soldiers who move through a minefield walk in a line, single file, not scattered.
The uniforms/clothing also don’t quite match the WW2 era.In July 1958 the French 13e demi-brigade de Légion étrangère ( 13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion ) was on duty in Algeria (near Jebel) when they found a foal (a baby donkey) that had been abandoned and was dying of hunger.
The soldiers took pity of the animal and decided to take it back with them to their base.
