the USMC silent drill platoon uses the M1 Garand which is clip-fed and semi-automatic not bolt-action. We use old rifles as a tradition. Also because those old rifles are easier to drill with. Remember we don't just hold our rifles and occasionally slide them into a different position, we perform exhibition with them.

Canada is still very much tied to Britain our head of state is the Queen Also RCR (Royal Canadian Regiment) and the Royal 22nd Regiment our beloved French Canadians or the Van Doos). All have the Queen as their head. The PPCLI is (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) Prince Charles Colonel-in-Chief of Canadian Forces regiments Even PRINCE ANDREW, PRINCE EDWARD are heads of Canadian regiments, we are proud to be part of the British Commonwealth and it shows.

as you point out the royal 22nd rgt are not a guards unit,as are the governor generals footguards or the canadian grenadier guards or the canadian guards in ottowa but i always thought that the 22nd, princess patricias canadian light infantry and the royal canadian regiment were all part of the regular forces,i may be out of date,in this and so much else.the British footguards and these guys can be told apart easily,there are two dozen little deatails you can see,but they do a great job! mart

Canadian Army Drill is based, like most other Commonwealth Nations armed forces drill on standard British army drill. But the drill code constantly changes with minor variations every few years (it's a pain in the ass) and so over time the two countries drill have diverged a little.

It's actually pretty well established tradition to play the post horn gallop through a rifle. This is especially favoured for its entertainment value. As for the soloist, he is actually quite talented. His rapid tonguing near the end is quite impressive, as is his tone (considering he IS playing through a rifle). I have seen this done before at many a mess dinner, and the force one must play with to obtain significant volume is impressive. This soloist holds his ground well. You try it!

@Mac3622 avoiding useless talk about termage, it's basically because it's exhibition, and is designed to look good. Just like your formation marching does complex maneuvers, we do complex maneuvers with our weapons. It also shows greater precision and practice than simple marching. In addition to memorizing steps, keeping dress and cover, and staying in step, you must also be focused enough to move the rifle about your body in a sharp, fluid motion.

Well, I wouldn't say so. The acting head of state - the governer general, is appointed by the Queen, as well as the lieutenant-governors of all provinces. The Queen and the governors also approve all the appointments of the Prime-Minister. No matter who is more powerful - the UK or the US - for the mentality of a person of a real independent country having someone from abroad to appoint or approve the officials in your state means you are some sort of province of a different country.

If a party is neutral there is no need in it for a government. Thus, it's not really neutral, but seems neutral as long as there are no disasters, crises or wars. I totally agree with you on George Bush being king for the USA. I would say - the American President, this office itself is a sort of a monarch having a majority backing him both in the Senate and in the Congress and thus fusing the legislative and the executive powers. He also appoints the judges...

And it was not only the firepower which repelled Russians but also orders given by the Prince which were falsely understood by the generals (the Prince meant to prepare for the attack and not to start it).
