[release]A rebel fighting in the last stronghold of Muammar Gaddafi's Libya has taken to playing the guitar as fellow soldiers fire their guns around him.A photograph taken on Monday in the town of Sirte shows a soldier casually playing a classical acoustic guitar against a bullet-marked wall as comrades fire assault rifles just metres away.
Nothing is yet known about the musician who is seen finger-picking the instrument while he watches another infantryman fire a heavy machine gun, with the bullet casings littering the footpath beneath their feet.
Forces from Libya's new government predict the coastal town of Sirte, the birthplace of Colonel Gaddafi, will be captured within a week.
Colonel Gaddafi declared Sirte to be the new capital of Libya last month after the fall of Tripoli to rebel fighters, though the ousted dictator is believed to be on the other side of the country near the Niger border.[/release]

"And if I lose?"

Reminds me of this guy from Kyrgyzstan uprising last year.

Hey, you gotta carry that spare change & small things somewhere.
But seriously, the whole uprising was like the LAW & Shield combo straight from CoD.

Something tells me if one of the soldiers was Diabetic he'd run back across the battlefield to make some sugar-free ones.

Hey if you don't know how to fire a weapon why not be a morale booster? This way you can help the side you want to win!
He looks oddly photoshopped.
