The jailers were army reservists.  Army reservists tend to meet for a few 
hours a week (recall George Bush's intermittent -virtually no existent - 
service in the air force reserve). These people are not indoctrinated to the 
same degree as regular army people - one of the risks of employing army 
reservists in operations.  It could be that they took photos of what they 
were doing to send to their friends at home.  They are certainly not subject 
to military gaze to the same degree as regular army solders.

Definitely a subject that could be explored with Foucauldian concepts.
