Oh, and I forgot to mention, in the old "drumming out" ceremony, as the disgraced ex-Marine was marched toward the exit gate, each platoon he passed in unison turned their backs on him. It was said to have been an emotional gut punch for the drummed out person, but it sure made unit cohesiveness stronger. NO ONE wanted to be drummed out after seeing that.
Thank you!

Welcome, from a taxi driver.
I didn't know the details of it. Reminds me of bidens ride away from his 'inauguration' with the troops lining the road with their backs turned.
Exactly what I thought of too.
