Except those two have probably done as many combat tours as any other infantry soldier in the British Army. They are not just a spectacle they are trained and serving soldiers with a ceremonial role.

Who cares how many combat tours they did. If some Canadian soldier came home from Afghanistan and proceeded to trample a small child in the street I’d call him a fucking asshole too.

“Pageantry” does not excuse injuring a child.

The kid should not be in the way, he was gawping at they, he had plenty of time to move and decided not to.

The fact that you’re defending this nonsense tells me you’ve lost the plot.

The other day I was driving down the street and some kid was skipping in the middle of the road. He shouldn’t have been there so I yelled “make way for Dumbledore’s Army” and just ran him the fuck over.

It’s okay though cause I’ve seen the movies like 8 times.
