I had a past job on the ramp of an US International Airport loading and unloading bags for airlines. When 737's, with low mounted engines, would pull into the terminal we would sometimes get close to the luggage doors right before we chock the plane. One of us would be at the wingtips as they pull in. You need to walk in front of the engine to get to the luggage doors but step "around" the area. We would step towards the plane early before chocking. It was not a good practice (neither was a lot of other things). We were just trying to get the job started early.

The suction is a real thing. I have felt it albeit not super strong. Those Afghans are pretty close however the engines on a C17 are mounted a bit higher than ground level. I am not sure if the taxi-ing engine speed is the same as pulling into the terminal so getting sucked into the engine would be a result. The people could be too far away from the engine for the sucking effect.

At the back of the engine though, it's pretty windy. you should be able to see their clothes affected by the jet wash.
