@@Rogue66669 Really? I have studied military history most of my life. There are many forms of armed salute and they have changed a great deal over the centuries as weapons evolved. The mounted guard could not salute the veteran properly with a sword in one hand and the reins in his other, so he did what he could. I have seen that gesture before in historical texts, rendered by those under arms while on guard duty. It is not quite a salute and not quite present arms, but still, everyone with an ounce of dignity will recognize it as a sign of respect. The whole POINT of a salute is to show respect. That is what that young soldier did. I don't think the King would disapprove or any of the guard's superiors.

Sorry to be nit-picky, but the Marine isn't 'decorated' - taking a look at the medals on his chest, they're basically campaign medals for being in theatre (issued to anyone who was there or partook in supporting ops) - to be 'decorated' one has to have one of the following examples (not exhaustive): Victoria Cross George Cross Conspicuous Gallantry Cross Military Cross Distinguished Service Cross Distinguished Flying Cross Air Force Cross Anyone awarded one of the above medals is entitled to have the post-nominal letters after their name, VC, GC, CGC, MC etc and is thus 'decorated'

I´m pretty sure thats up to the guard on duty and dependent on what horse they have. The guard must have known that horse was very calm and stable so it wouldent randomly bite or make a sudden move so he was okey with a gentle touch as he knew the horse dident mind it. If he hade a horse more prone to biting as we can se in some videos he would never have allowed the ppl to get that close especially not the kid who was standing less the a foot from it.

The cult and fanaticism that surrounds the Nationalists of the OUN-UPA and SS Galizien in Ukraine, who are responsible for the genocide against Jewish and Polish civilians during World War II. Let us condemn the cult of cruelty and hatred. The report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights accuses Azov of war crimes: looting, unlawful detention and torture (and not only them, as far as the Ukrainian forces are concerned. The Wolfsangel, or wolf's hook, is also a well-known neo-Nazi symbol, previously used by the Wehrmacht and SS. However, the Azovs explain that it is an abbreviation of Ідея Нації, i.e. "Idea of the Nation".
@ryszardochucki99752 ай бұрын
In the 1930s, the leaders of the OUN saw the Ukrainian national movement as part of European fascist movements and did not hide it at all. Hand in hand with the Germans The consequence of these views was the rapprochement of the OUN with Nazi Germany. The practical experience gained then was used by the OUN-UPA in 1943, carrying out the ethnic cleansing of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. At the end of the war, the Germans decided to use the collaborative enthusiasm of the Ukrainians on a larger scale. They released Bandera and offered him cooperation in the fight against communism, they also formed the Ukrainian Waffen-SS division (to which as many as 80,000 volunteers signed up!).
@ryszardochucki99752 ай бұрын
After the war, the OUN circles operating in exile conducted a systematic action of changing history. In publications, studies and memoirs, the topic of cooperation with Germany, participation in the Holocaust and murdering Poles was omitted. The OUN and the UPA were presented as noble organizations fighting for a free Ukraine against two enemies - the Third Reich and the USSR. An idealized image of Bandera was also built as an outstanding politician, leader of the nation, thinker and noble fighter for freedom. All those who recalled the Ukrainian collaboration, participation in the Holocaust and the Volhynia massacre were called Soviet agents. Rossoliński-Liebe

Option 1 is incorrect but simple, not controversial, and polite, regardless of whether he's a genuine veteran or a Walt and a fraud, or somewhere in-between. Option 2 is correct, but looks rude and disrespectful to someone who appears to the tourists to be a decorated veteran (as many here have assumed he is), although it's questionable. Option 3 is correct, ("F*ck off with your fake medals, you Walt w*nker") but appears even more rude and disrespectful, etc, than 2 even if it's 100% justified.

I will say the British army has some of the most majestic mounts on the planet.they are a thing of beauty, i didnt have anything to do with horses whilst i was in service, different branch of the army but i did do a bit around them in my civilian life, and if you are not used to horses they can be a big scary animal, with a mind of there own, so the high level of training the black mounts of the guards ride are selected from the best of the best. By nature horses are skittish around loud noises, same as any animal so to get them to remain calm when crowds are shouting and bands are playing is testimony to the lads and lasses that train them, and if there wasnt a huge bond and trust between horse and rider it just wouldn't work. i will say it again the horses of the guards are beautiful beasts.

The people who were wearing period clothes look fantastic! People should wear nice clothes when going out instead of looking like they just rolled out of their couch or are gonna look for tricks. There's something to be said about wearing decent clothes in public.

5:37, the House Guard salutes the Veteran by bringing his sword vertical and then salutes him again when he leaves at 6:34, nice respect.
