Marines Sound Off: Your Thoughts On Using Marines In biden's Speech
As I posted elsewhere, I would have given up rank, service, benefits to one finger salute that POS, tell him to go fuck himself and march off stage.

Aside from that, since when do Marines stand at parade rest with hands in front and not crossed behind their backs?

I don't know much about presidential guard duty but never in my days did we ever have a parade rest position with hands in front and I was on funeral detail for 6 months.

Anyway,
Your thoughts on being part of the symbolism being used as a semi-veiled threat to half the country?

We've been tools of many a corrupt and sleazy political goal, but is this finally going to be a bridge too far?

If my old eyes are correct he the “sergeant “ only had one hash mark on his sleeve. And it wasn’t a combat hash but a longevity of service hash. Impossible

I’m glad.
Let’s get it on while we’ve got the shit and all the branches still have ringers in there who will never follow those kindve orders. This is serious provocation and I’m not giving a Fuck who does that old pedo think he is? Fuck him in the ass with trumps golf bag. I think they’ve wholly underestimate why patriots are arming themselves like no tommorrow
Because we know there isn’t one.
Been ready, we will never take orders from that old mumbling Fuck.

The presence of military, whether genuine soldiers or fake actors, is usually about intimidation. To impress a sense of power and order standing behind the evil chatterboxes.

Can't say about the hands. If that isn't normal then they may likely be actors. Front hands could probably be seen as a more aggressive power stance though. Actually the whole thing was aggressive. The wall behind him was backlit with red light making it look like Satan's castle of crimson darkness while Biden ranted on.

When a Soldier stands at Parade Rest with Bayonets fixed, the hands are in front.

I had the same thought as you, but of course the Marines aren't to be trusted with Rifles in the presence of Resident Biden.

The sergeant's left most ribbon. I don't see a ribbon on the chart that has a green stripe in the middle with yellow stripes outside.

Closest I see is an air service medal but it is blue not green.

Marines are not required to be critical thinkers.

That's why I wasn't a Marine.

I'm addicted to critical thinking.

Those poor saps didn't ask for a copy of the speech, or ask about the moral implications of standing behind someone while in uniform who is giving a political speech.

Parade rest IS hands interlocked behind the small of the back.
The old Gaurd or Marines that were given this duty, were given an in front look from the person in charge...that's it. Wrong, no. Unorthodox yes.

Yes, I remember that event with Obama and the umbrella.

I also remember being spitting mad when I saw that.

I'm just going to guess whoever coordinates these events just sends a request and/or demand and it's honored and not questioned.

Just read it.

It doesn't add much to the subject.

I will say this though.
My drill instructor walked us through the command structure of the military. It was supposedly designed I'm such a way that one extremist faction of the government could not control it all.

This is why, back in the day, I made such a big deal about wrongfully using national guard troops in Iraq.
And...
It was a national guard unit back from Iraq that went into new Orleans with guns at the ready after hurricane Katrina.
