I have never understood how they can find guys that will do this kind of monotonous guard duty.

Guard duty is boring, but to have to do things like the French do where they stand at ease in front of the top officer’s tent, or the headquarters door, and snap to attention and slap their thighs every time someone walks by would be unbearable.

The Guards regiments do a lot more than public duties. They are crack units trained to a very high standard, and have the battle honors to prove it.

Because it is an honor and it’s only for 2 hours a shift.

Everything he did was a legit marching step but Liz is displeased.
