A picture is definitely worth a thousand words

I couldn't resist. This picture is right on the front page of today's El Tiempo, along with the headline "Reclutamiento de Bachilleres".

What was the photographer thinking?

this pic ain't worth much. I'm wondering what was so enthralling or thought-provoking about it?
(What a job, the guy in fatigues has.) lol

oh, the sweet memories... of having your genitalia examined by a female doctor. At least this guy is there by himself: My whole class had to stand naked in a circle. There was the rumor that in the class before mine a guy actually got an erection, and when everyone laughed the doctor (female, why always female?) said "a ver los civiles! muestren respeto por las armas de la patria!" I don't know if it was true, but it made me laugh for a while.

No bobito what I find "enthralling" as you put it, is that that photo made it to the front page of South america's second biggest newspaper.
