I’m not only Ex-Army but served in The Old Guard 3rd Infantry Regiment…I even performed in President Reagan’s 1st Inaugural Parade. I’ve no clue if this guy is right and will look into it but absolutely can speak to the notion that anyone can alter or interpret events. There is a SOP (standard operating procedure) for EVERYTHING that day and it is sacrosanct; zero deviation from the plan.
It could be that the events he describes at Joint Base Andrews are established for the outgoing President but I’m doubtful. What’s easier to establish is the events around the ‘inaugural’ as those are highly regimented and fully established. If they didn’t even play Ruffles and Flourishes nor Hail to the Chief; that’s a dead giveaway that fuckery is afoot.
