We just can't help ourselves when it comes to robots - and it looks like this soldier is having the same problem.

Although he's no doubt supposed to appear incapacitated and is (thank heavens!) being moved to safety we can't help think that he looks like he's swooned from sheer robot-love.

The robot is Bear (he's even got a cute name) and apparently he is 6 foot tall (which, after a quick calculation with our Snoopy ruler, makes Solider Swoon over 7 foot tall).

Editorial Disclaimer: Bear really stands for "Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot" and armed conflict is not a joking matter.
