Thanks,
Bob

Sometime I do - it depends on what I am trying to capture. Portraits are very challenging but I have done a few. Here's one that I did recently of a Marine.

but how about painting a picture that the troop is happy like after victory or when he found out that is going home?

think about it

I have actually done that too! Here's a portrait of a soldier in a lighter mood.
