As a veteran, the lack of salutes and especially seeing the NGs turning their back on Joe - stand out to me.
But I don't want to put any stock in this yet. Concerned about my own confirmation bias.
I have not seen a salute exchanged. Have any of you?
yeah I saw the clip that showed hats on the ground at the parade. Hats on the ground seems strange to me but I don't know what it means.
I thought maybe a gust of wind got the parade hats. What does that mean about the Old Guard?
Think of the grueling training to maintain the correct kind and number of paces they MUST do in all kinds of weather-perfect uniforms, perfect character maintained for the rest of their lives-the wreath pin is sacred to the Tomb Guards. This is a serious break in protocol-their being there capless in front of commanders and generals means it is condoned.. See videos of how the the officer on parade deals with noisy tourists by comparison.
