VANITY: QUESTION FOR FREEPERS
Youtube ^ | 1/16/11 | JN Roberts

Posted on 01/16/2011 7:36:24 AM PST by JNRoberts

I notice the honor guard all turn at once except for 1. He seems to pause intentionally, then turn much slower than the others. Was this intentional or a mess up?

I have a question that maybe a freeper can help me with. I was looking at this beautiful video of the 9/11 memorial service, Battle Hymn of the Republic. At around the 2:31 mark, I notice the honor guard all turn at once except for 1. He seems to pause intentionally, then turn much slower than the others. Was this intentional or a mess up? If intentional, what is the significance? Thank You. God bless.

It’s all about keeping the honor guard line “in line” and uniform...if he turned at the same pace as the others did it would throw the symetry of the “line” off.

It didn’t look intentional to me, it looked like the guy missed the cue.

Maybe he was the one giving the commands? He gives the right face command to the others and then turns himself?

That would be good....it almost seems intentional. He turns much slower. If it’s a mess up, well, I can only compare it to the taps player at the JFK funeral....almost seemed like divine providence for that taps player to miss a key....it was just a bad time for America that weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2h3z3Jqqo0

I asked a simple question.

The jerk is the one that’s getting all knicker-knotted over something so infinitely trivial.

Hint: I ain’t the jerk here.

No, it’s just a simple and very legitimate question. Just like you are a simple and legitimate jerk. There’s one in every crowd.

A big deal isn’t being made of it by this Freeper. They are simply asking a question.

Look at the parenthetical after my name on my earlier comment. :)

Oh gee, my bagel didn’t have enough “everything” to be an everything bagel... I think I’ll run to my computer and make a post on Free Republic to ask why....

Keith,

In the grand scheme of things it really is not a big deal.. probably would have been "cut" from the video except for the fact that the "audio" track would have been worse.. but then it was a "live broadcast"... personally I prefer raw video.. the "real deal" so to speak. I could have edited this video and make myself look better but I posted it "as is" imperfections and all.... I asked a young sergeant if he was okay with me "embarrasing him" a little and help me motivate the class.. LOL he was a good sport and I was shooting from the hip.. LOL

nobody else in the class except the young Sergeant and the soldier I asked to video knew what was coming...... LOL .. The demonstrator obviously did not know what I was going to do.... truthfully.. neither did I... LOL
