I thought there was an on-duty squad standing by to handle shit like these idiots acting like asses?
Does anyone remember some NFL player who went to England and tried to put his arm around a Guards shoulder? He shrugged it off and the next thing you saw was a bunch of armed Brits in cammies coming around the corner with a VERY pissed off officer screaming at the player to never EVER touch a soldier standing guard. |

And the Queen never stands behind anyone. This isn't the fly by on the VE Day anniversary, but it will serve the purpose. The Queen Mother is wiping her eyes after the flyover |

It took them a little bit to come up with the techniques from what i understand.....big difference between an L1A1 and the L-85 They should stick to an older type of rifle for parade and bludgeoning use, like how our tomb guards use the M14 with bayonet. Sometimes modern just isn't a good substitute for 10 long pounds of wood and steel with a sharp pointy bit on one end. My regiment struggled with this very question. The issue is that all of the foot guard regiments are combat infantry regiments. When they are not in their rotation at the palaces, they are regular infantry - either training or deployed. So the question is whether you have them use a different rifle for guard duty than the one they user for regular infantry duty. Both our regiment and the British regiments decided that was stupid and dangerous, and whatever rifle they use for guard duty needs to be the SAME rifle they use in the field, so that they are as familiar with it as possible. That logic was the reason that my regiment held onto the M1 Garand for as long as it could. When the rest of the Danish army switched to the G-3 in 1975, the training battalions in the Royal Guard regiment kept using the M1, because it looked better for Guard duty - which then meant that they had to keep using it in the field as well. So you had this weird situation where 11 of the 12 infantry regiments exclusively used the G3, but ONE regiment used the G3 in one battalion, but kept the Garand in two other battalions. Luckily, when the Danish army adopted the M16/M4 in the 1990s, the guard regiment decided to switch as well - so the drill had to be slightly altered, but now at least everyone is on the same page. The slight concession made to appearance's sake was that a short magazine is used (but there are plenty of 30-rounders in the guard room). |
