Do modern countries even have those anymore? They kinda sucks, I'd rather have our soldiers train at doing their job than become a lame tourist trap attraction.

>>35090981
The Guards Regiments rotate ceremonial with combat duties, no line unit trains 100% of the time so it sure as fuck beats polishing brass and painting grass all day.

Yeah poos are a bit silly, but it's supposed to be pretty popular to watch with local poo tourists.

It was pretty nice what they did a couple years ago after a terrorist attack on the paki side, both sides did some sort of shared thing.

Have the Queens guard ever actually bayoneted someone in recent times (I'm assuming theyre too cucked to keep their guns loaded) or is the whole thing just grandstanding?

>>35091241
They have not bayoneted anyone to my knowledge because the place is swarming with armed police to deal with things before it gets that far, those rifled are loaded though but not charged. The rules of engagement are a right cunt though, better to let plod deal with it than charge the weapon and go through a world of shit trying to justify it.

Some nig nog thought that because he is a member of the commonwealth he is entitled to go in and have a chat with the queen, the guardsman and police had other ideas. He was pretty harmless, just ignorant and stupid.

FTFY.

Never met a single dude worth a fuck that spent time in those shitty ceremonial units. Not a single one.

They looked pretty, though.

Where are you from? The Household Division has an excellent record and until recently one of them held the world record for the longest sniper kill. The Guards do the exact same Infantry training as any other British Infantryman, the only difference is that they get an extra 4 weeks drill training.

Our biggest leg unit fires more live rounds per year than any of yours do in 2. Opinion discarded.

>>35092023
Name one of your units that are not SOF that have a better record than the Guards.

>>35091362
They probably operate harder than I ever will.

>>35092105
All of them....

>>35092125
So you cannot name one, ok then.

>>35092156

"All of them" is not a Regiment.

>>35092205
Neither is that faggoty ass ceremonial unit you're whiteknighting for...

>>35092116
> During a demonstration in front of the Parliament in 2001, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at one of the guardhouses. The wooden construction was engulfed in flames. The Evzone on guard next to it remained in place until an officer gave him the order to move. With a scorched and partly smoking uniform on one side, the Evzone did so.

>>35092225
Yes, I made them up.

We're not talking politics, just the military itself. Which looked damn good.

>>35092550
The NVA's restrictions by the USSR/puppet government were that they couldn't use a Stahlhelm like in the World Wars and they had to use the standard Warsaw Pact weapons. Most other things were left to the discretion of the NVA and so they remained Germanic and not some Soviet copy.
In particular, they looked to the past Prussian traditions, such as the goosestep, since those were still historic and martial but without direct relation to the Nazis.

>>35092661

This is a myth, they use Stahlhelm before superior helmet was introduced.

It looks like the memorials had some restoration work done on it after reunification. Its a shame, those battle scares really added to it.

>>35093443
As if. They East Germans weren't even allowed to sing German Marching songs, bury WW2 dead with military honors or repatriate POWs from Russia.

>b-but their uniforms kind of look like WW2 ones!

Yet they got worse indoctrination on how Germans are born with the sin of being German and must pay eternal reperations while surrendering Konigsberg.

>>35090704
>Mine would be Nazi Germany

OP is a faggot

>>35094477
Don't forget East Germany was forbidden from developing weapons like West Germany in order to be forced to pay licences and fees to Russia.

>>35094488
You don't have to be a while supremacist to recognize the Germans looked good in uniform and while marching.

that's quite an understatement, you can trace a distinct lineage of aesthetic trends from classic Imperial German uniforms all the way to East German uniforms. You can't say the same for Wessie/post-reunification garb.

>Yet they got worse indoctrination on how Germans are born with the sin of being German
>implying being German isn't a sin
good one, Anon. Also, you misspelled Kaliningrad.

>>35090981

My favorite part about this whole ceremony is that the Pakis' door slides shut and the Indian door swings shut. It's like something out of a Dr. Seus book.

The queen's guard is one of the few where they're using actual rifles that are actually loaded. They're also all legitimate soldiers who have toured. Of all the meme guards they're one of the few that could actually fight if it came to it.

Also it's funny watching them hit dumb tourists who won't get out of the way.

They're not loaded you dip.

>>35095894
They are, just not charged.

>>35095894
Actually, correction, they're not loaded, but loaded magazines are stored in the guard post.

Yes, they are.

>>35095977
Not British, but I remember reading an AMA on reddit for the Queen's guard. He stated that the condition of their weapons changed day to day. So, I'd imagine it's commander's discretion. It was anything from no rounds on the soldier, but there were some magazines at the call box, to no rounds in chamber and loaded mags in bandoleer, to loaded mag seated on closed action with no round in chamber.

It varies based on the threat level. With how much more often there have been terrorist or muslim (same thing, right?) attacks in England and the rest of Europe, they are probably either packing mags or loaded on an empty chamber.

Why do militarys keep doing faggy shit like this?

It obviously does not attract professionals. It attracts the same kind of retarded teenagers that think natsoc is cool or meme free helicopter rides as one of the important tenants of libertarianism.

Its like they want to fill the marines and foreign legion with a bunch of edglords lacking any direction in their lives.
