and his untucked shirt. It's fake. Other people have done less to real guards and they've yelled a warning at them. They don't just haul off and hit the guy
I believe he means to say the guard isn't a guard, but an imposter. This would be for the purpose of spoofing the audience, I think. He recommends we check the gentleman's footwear, and then perhaps cross-reference that pair against the footwear of other guards. Seems to me that @SkullFuckerSupreme has noticed that in the past, men have been found to be imposters because the boots that they wore were noticeably different from the boots issued to real guards.
Reason being it is hard and expensive to find exactly the right footwear for the job on short notice...so quite often everyone is hoping nobody looks at their feet too long.
A sentry will be on duty "at their post" for two hours. Every 10 minutes, he comes to attention, slopes arms and does a march of 15 paces across the area of the post. Each sentry does this four to five times before halting. He then shoulders arms and stands at ease. 'Standing easy' is not permitted whilst a sentry is at their post. Orders for sentry duty read out before each two-hour 'tour of duty', make it clear that sentries "may not eat, sleep, smoke, stand easy, sit or lie down during [their] tour of duty".[5]
Sentries receive instruction on how to eliminate nuisance or any suggestion of threat from members of the public. There is a protocol they follow which begins with "stamping" (coming to attention sharply). He will also shout: "Stand back from the King's Guard" or similar. If this does not eliminate the nuisance or threat he will repeat the stamp and shout again. If the nuisance or threat still does not cease the sentry will assume the position of "port arms" whereby he points his rifle at the source of the interference. If these warnings are not heeded the sentry then has the choice of detaining the person(s) himself or pressing the button in his sentry box to summon assistance.[5]
If a person steps in front of a sentry while he is marching he will shout: "Make way for the King's Guard!".[5]
I thought this seemed a bit off, but it made me smile and I wanted to bring you fags some mirth as well.
Thanks, though. That all sounds reasonable and straightforward and much more like the way they really are. They're very real guards and fucking with them is not a great idea, but it doesn't work like in this silly clip, of course. I mean, not usually anyhow. Him being disarmed seemed weird.
Cringeniggers who scream "NONONONONOO FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE ITSFAKEITSFAKEITSFAKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" are just jealous they didn't find and post the content themselves first. Pay no mind to such filthy proles.
