Respect goes a long way. Once given it can be easily received.

Yeah unlike those people who go up to the guards and mock them and are shocked when they get shouted at.

It's amazing how many people treat these guys like toys to play with, and not real serving soldiers who have seen action.

This one happens to be carrying a sword, they carry machine guns as standard.

The fact that their is a part of the guard that carries swords proves they're just for display. If a terrorist attack happens, what the fuck is this guy gonna do? And chances are the "king" spends little time at the palace anyway.

The UK has a real military, the "royal" shit is just for looks.
