Actually, the crowd dynamic was more interesting than that. As the soldiers dropped to one knee, many men in the crowd sat down in a flat-footed squat in the fashion that is common in the Middle and Far East. It was a fascinating reciprocal response in body langauge.
I have got to see that clip.

It was impressive. You have a group of killing machines "take a knee" and lower the angle of their weapons and smile. Chilling.
To me, they looked like death-in-check, kind of I-can-kill-you-in-a-second-but-I'm-in-control-and-it's-not-YOU-I'm-mad-at. It summarized the flavor of America.
These guys (ALL of our troops) are INCREDIBLE!
