so the innate movement in every painting enters at the left and leaves at the right.
so you should see the soldier backing up toward the right and the iraqis advancing from the left, or in the original painting, the soldier has arrived from the left on the scene and is telling the man who's moving the wrong direction in the picture to please take up his place in the right of the picture again.
