+CrazyhorseB34 937 Posted September 26, 2013 This is without a doubt one of the most awesome military ceremonies conducted in the world. Thank you for posting this! To mock these professionals, as the commentator did, with "Monty Python" inferences dishonors their loyalty to their country and their devotion to duty. The commentator of the vid should be slapped.

JediMaster 451 Posted September 26, 2013 Why all the spectators? If this happens every day, there's nothing special about it, so why the crush of the crowds? The military stuff I get, I don't get the civilians' presence on either side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted September 30, 2013 Honestly, no. It lasts a few minutes at most, how long did they have to travel to get there? Maybe it's just me, I have a fundamental aversion to spending more time to GET somewhere than I will spend AT the destination. I wouldn't drive 2 days each way to spend 1 day at Disney for instance. Then again, I do no understand spectator sports. I cannot fathom how people gain enjoyment from watching OTHER people play a game, either. I might want to play football, but I never want to watch it played. So since my brain isn't wired that way, I don't get this either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
