What's wrong with this?

[Tex Jones, SASS 2263]

From an article in the Daily Mail entitled "A girl's night out in Jerusalem."

[Rye Miles #13621]

Nothing! Very attractive!

[Tex Jones, SASS 2263]

Attractive, yes, but look closer at the AR.

[Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770]

For starters, she's staring at her phone instead of her environment, the way she has it slung she'd have a hard time getting her AR into action if needed, and the AR has an empty chamber flag in it.

[Texas Joker]

Israeli carry.  Chamber clear, mag loaded.

[Steel-eye Steve SASS #40674]

Off duty IDF are required to have their issued rifles with them and yes they are also required to carry empty chamber with a chamber flag.

[Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728]

Too bad we don't have a 1000 like her roaming every campus of these useless colleges, that hard working, tax paying, American citizens are seeing their tax dollars supporting.

[Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372]

Terrible jeans...

She is off duty Israeli military, not an armed civilian.

[Subdeacon Joe]

She needs to patch those jeans.

That might be the way they carry, but the OP asked what was wrong with it. IMHO, that's what's wrong with it. 

I also carry my 1911 Cocked and Locked.

[Texas Joker]

A 1911 in condition 1 is safe to carry in that configuration. Designed as such by Browning.

 

Stoners weapon with its forward assist might have an ad if dropped and the forward assist is impacted.

 

Also it is Isreali military doctrine to carry that way. This soldier is following orders as to weapon and method of carry.

You have that option, she does not.

[Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037]

Carry handle is mounted two notches too far forward.

[watab kid]

far better than unarmed to me 

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

I bet she can take you out before that bomb under your jacket goes off.

[Alpo]

In my opinion, what is wrong is that whole "bolt locked back, chamber flag" thing.

 

Last time I looked, there was a dust cover on Mr Stoner's toy, which served to keep dirt out of the chamber. Locking the bolt back with a chamber flag allows all kinds of dirt and crap free access. And don't they live in a desert?

They actually make jeans like that, with the torn knees and other parts of the pants. You wouldn't believe the prices of them either. I did some work at an "upscale" clothing store and saw the price tag for jeans exactly like that...$250 to 375. I asked if people really bought them. The reply was that they were one of their best sellers.

 

I'd rather see a girl (good looking one too) carrying a chamber flagged AR w/loaded magazine that knows how to use it than an unarmed victim such as those back in October.

Yeah, and I don't understand it.  Even as a kid I hated holes in my jeans.  

Back in the 1980s there was a fashion of jeans with a series of parallel rips in the front of the thighs.  One young lady asked me what I was staring at, so I told her that I was fascinated that the 16th century "slashed" look in clothing had made a comeback, and that it had started with Landsknecht mercenaries.  She didn't take it well.

I fail to see how the second renders the first any less valid.

[Charlie Harley, #14153]

Empty chamber indicator reduces chance of an AD while she’s looking at her phone, making googly eyes at her boyfriend, or chatting with friends.  

 

But I guarantee she’s been trained in an immediate action drill to flick out the indicator and close the bolt in fractions of a second.

 

It’s a good compromise in my opinion.  Others can disagree.

[Pat Riot]

If I were her commander and saw this photo I am pretty sure I would put a boot in her (butt). Walking holding hands staring at a phone…not good form for defense.

She's off duty from what I can tell.

[Kid Rich]

I'd be glad to patch those jeans for her if she took them off.

Someone has dropped their phone.
It's next to the man's boot.

I've tried to convince my 17 year old grandaughter about that and have been informed I know nothing of fashion!  I think every hole doubles the price of the jeans.

[Rye Miles #13621]

I’ve seen ripped jeans at  my local mall for quite a few years now! It’s been a fashion thing for quite a while. No surprise here!

Good Eye! 

She just walked past a failed IED…

 

Maybe…

If your carrying an M-16 or any rifle as part of your off duty activities I would say that you are on duty when you’re off. Or you should at least be more aware.

I never have. I want my jeans to look new when they're new.

at's so "po' folks" can be classy, too.  

 

We were poor (by some peoples' standards) but Mom would have died of embarrassment if we had looked like that.  Patched and repaired was okay.  That meant you were unable to buy better.  Worn out, full of holes (cut, slashed, torn, or worn through) meant you or your mother were lazy or inept).

She couldn't carry it in California. Not a 10 round mag and no mag lock set-up.

From what everyone says she’s following the IDF rules. I think she could get that rifles into action pretty darn quick, just a guess.

Not really, Israel is mostly grassland  - think golden(i.e. brown grass) hills of California type terrain.
