A color video still closely crops around a man with light skin in military gear, facing our left. Dark gray grime masks his face as he aims a black rifle, squinting through its glowing red scope. He wears a tan helmet with a black cover and camouflage uniform featuring an "INFANTRY 110" patch on his shoulder at our right. His intense expression emerges from deep shadows, highlighting the soot-stained textures of his skin.
