The rider in front looked older than him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how I should feel. Shock, disgrace, disgusted or lol?<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;As a man old enough to serve the nation, doesn&#8217;t he feel weird taking a ride on something meant for people with walking difficulties? He was wearing combat boots so there&#8217;s definitely nothing wrong with his legs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;Or maybe this can be part of innovation in the near future. Imagine this: machine guns mounted all over the terrain and riding a PMA into the battleground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">In 2011, an NSF was photographed with his maid carrying his field pack. The picture went viral after being posted on Stomp and sparked heated debate online. The recruit was counselled following investigations by the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\"><span><b>Have your say on Stomping Ground!
