[@menwancellos8000]

IRA or UVF? I lived in Northern Ireland, and as a Frenchman working there in Prod and Cath schools, it was quite complicated. Got threatened by IRA punks once because of university research on the Troubles. Had friends from both "sides" - had a lot of problems with local police, got arrested by Green Berets searching for weapons contraband - was with my French car - got disrespected for being French. I was there in 1998-99, one week after the Omagh bombing. My family begged me not to go. I do understand how people can feel living up there when born catholic en rages half the population or vice-versa. I had heard and seen so many things there that I still keep a vivid memory of harshness, defiance and fear from Ulster. My first shock was the last barb wires in the border with the Republic, I thought I was back to cold era Germany. i wish this US military found a cure. I know the sacrifices they make to become an honor guard. Best wishes from France.

SPEEDYNOOB You can’t abuse people based off of their ideologies, rightly so. Whether religion, or morals, people should believe what they want without repercussions. But if they act illegally you can certainly imprison him.

Yes it is sad that some people disrespect this beautiful country of ours

[@mouselmao]

It is unfortunate to find people who disrespect our country, but it is also a sign of greatness. It is the proof that we may have diverse thoughts and opinions on almost any matter whatsoever without being punished. It is a sign of freedom.

I hope the military helps this poor guy out with disability support or something. I mean he's a freaking tomb guard after all.

[@ashleypeoples8657]

He's deceased as of about 7 months ago. & few know the truth of this situation. & the truth is infuriating.

Manifestation of a medical illness while in service is considered service connected under Department of Veterans Affairs Law. It can be found in title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

[@timothyhudson7999]

I have been to the Tomb twice and it is a very sacred place. The guards there are nearly fanatical about what they do and rightly so. I don't know if they have any ammo in their rifles but that is a very real bayonet affixed to the end. I hope that some dumbass never tries to punk out one of those guards. It could be messy to say the least.

[@a-drewg1716]

The guns they have are fully functional but are unloaded. Although the officer that does the changing of the guard as well as the inspection of the rifle is armed with a loaded sidearm.

[@hunterhess884]

Timothy Hudson id say they carry magazines with them or unload them before the change. Guarantee they load them at night.

[@speedbuggy16v]

the fierce determination to their duty, no matter if their weapons are loaded or not, should be enough to dissuade any interlopers. I will not cry for any man or woman that disrespects the tomb

[@joe6096]

There is footage around of people - kids of course - in attendance at the guard changing who whisper or talk. Those soldiers do NOT f around. They will crisply stop, turn to the crowd, snap their boots, stare straight ahead, and in a Marine boot camp drill instructors voice advise the crowd that the tomb is a sacred place and to remain silent. Those kids probably had to change their underwear and never said a word for a week lol

[@michellemcgonigle4869]

There is actually a video on KZbin of a guard accidentally dropping the rifle and the bayonet stabs through the others foot and you can see the blood. I believe the video is called “Changing Of the Guard Mishap”

[@JohnDoe-qq8ws]

That's the most discipline I've ever seen. That's excellent, how they can do that for 26 hours.

I've seen this in real life. It is truly amazing how perfect they are god bless America, God bless those soldiers who will never be known. God bless their families who went through the pain of not knowing where their family member(s) are.
