Well done :thumbsup:

At the changing of the guard in England some years back. Some tourist thought it was o.k. to step on the low wall and hang onto the fence. "Police woman" on horseback muscled through the crown and pulled the person off shouting, "You'd be shot in some countries for your disrespect."
Yep, that's what she meant. Same tone too.
I wonder how long it took to get the soldier to that point.
so what happens if the enemy attacks the tomb? is the guard supposed to defend it to his death?

I've seen the ceremony in person. Just wondering how long the guy was doing a slow boil before he finally yelled at them to stfu.
http://www.tombguard.org/weapons.htmlI'm wondering if they even have live ammo in those guns.
The weapons used by the Tomb Guard are more than just for show. These weapons are fully functional, and are kept ready for use at all times.
On March 25, 1926 orders were sent down directing the formation of an armed military guard at the Tomb, during daylight hours only. Too many visitors to the cemetery were using the original crypt as a picnic table.
Somethings are just scared to the armed forces.
I think you meant sacred.
