Hi, guys! I shared with my friend a video of the military with their backs to Biden's motorcade on "Inauguration" day. She is a Trump supporter and believes Biden is fraudulent but asked me who took the video, as it looks like it is someone either in the motorcade or following it. It is the video that has been posted here several times. She said there is nothing to say when, where or who is passing by the military. Can anyone help with provenance?

I know this, it was the USMC mountain division. Some were facing the motorcade and some were not, presumably a security measure to watch out for NK and Spetznats insurgents and not an insult.
my understanding as well.
Same thing you see with on-field security at ballgames and concerts .... they aren't there to watch the show
Yes. Both correct. Sometimes you’ll see them angled off towards the side with their backs to POTUS. Same with Trump. They cover the compass.
That would be the 10th Mountain Division US Army, out of Ft. Drum, NY.
If the soldiers are on detail, they are not required to salute. They are not required to deviate from their task. Only the NCO or Officer in charge is required to salute..
