*coughs* Those are MARINES. Since the 2 Marines who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier turned down the offer to evacuate with the rest of DC in the face of an oncoming hurricane...I highly doubt he "fainted."
I'm sorry to get on your case, but as a member of the US military, your caption just rubbed me the wrong way.
The briefest glance at this LJ should tell you a couple of things:
a) If you manage to glean the slightest *hint* of evidence of even the barest regard for military accuracy, beyond how it serves delicious porny encounters between two very hot sailors, I'll be astounded and amazed. b) I don't make a point of prioritising the feelings of random members of the US military who apparently stop by only to miss the point of the actual post and get actually offended by an irrelevant mistake. c) Army, marines, it's all the same, right?*
Oh, and the caption on the picture when I found it said he fainted. You want to confirm the total and utter impossibility of a human being fainting, go and bother the photographer.
If you're going to fetishize uniforms, it helps to know them. Those are Marines. The blood stripe on their class A's is a dead giveaway, as is the cover. They are also the only ones who have haircuts built for speed

If you're going to fetishize uniforms, it helps to know them. Not really. For now I'm getting along just fine by looking at them. I guess it's not the only aspect of why I like the picture. Pretty!
They are also the only ones who have haircuts built for speed. That is the most freaking hilarious thing I have read all day. Thanks, you honestly cheered me right up. :D
Marines are much more fun to slash than army boys. Their uniforms are better and their standards are higher. Good to know. You do realise that I have to go and investigate this whole new genre now? Sigh. Thanks for the info!
