Not hard because you look fucking ridiculous in them. They're flabby and bottom heavy and not-at-all like in games. They fit like shit and do look goofy as hell. Wonder what the context here was.
They'll save your life though.
E-bit of Google says this was during a drill and felt his squad mates did indeed look ridiculous.
I drilled in one before, I had trouble breathing in it and ended up taking it off to get some fresh air every now and then. I guess it's a good thing we weren't in an actual environment where they were necessary, because I'd have probably died
Did someone retouch his teeth?
I had no idea it was possible for someone to have such straight teeth naturally (not sure about orthodinistry in this era).
Orthodontics were developed at that time, but I don't know how widespread it was. Some people just have all the luck!
I wonder which regiment he was in. There were only 2 black combat divisions from the US, a vast majority of black troops were forced into support roles.
Edit: with a little help and a bit of digging, I was able to determine that he served in the 366th regiment of the segregated 92nd Division, also known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

Looks like facebooks wasn't bullshitting. 3rd bat, 366th.
Hey, A plus on finding a start! Names, regiments, and other details in the post give me a lot of stuff to work with
Edit: I already have a lead since they referenced the buffalo soldiers in the hashtags
Edit 2: the picture is legit! The Smithsonian Institute has it in their online archive. It's too late for me to verify most of the other claims in the post, but this picture, and more importantly this person, was real. Also, definitely read about Lt. Aaron Fisher. He was a great leader, stifled by systemic racism and still managed to achieve great things at Saint Die.
