Anybody want to figure this one out?

One of those posed postcard pictures, made for fun. One of the buddies is posing as the civilian while the other pretends to shoot him. I don't think they're mocking executions, just posing in a sort of good-guy / bad-guy kind of way. The grinning kid gives the scene away.
