Do yourself a favour and don't ever tell a Guardsmen that they're just for "show".
Their ceremonial duties do not lessen their abilities as soldiers one bit.
/Unless it's looking after Carl Gustav.

Sapper, these cultural niceties are wasted on the most civvy, most anti-military guy on cka. He doesn't care about the history and those who have gone before us.
You don't know what I care about. I am not anti-military at all. I'm anti-invading-other-people's-countries-for-loot, and anti-blowing-up-lots-of-civilians-when-the-people-who-need-to-die-are-hiding-somewhere-else, but certainly not anti-military.
My grandfather served in the second world war, he drove supply trucks through Italy, Africa, Denmark and Holland. He watched a lot of people die in their sleep because they slept under their trucks, which got shelled. Frankly, I think I'm lucky to have had him around for 25 years.
So don't you go telling me that I don't care about history or anyone that fought in a war. You don't know what I know, and you don't have the first clue about what I care about. All you care about is a stupid fucking alias on the internet.
See a commonality in the people who are calling you out on your unfounded notion that people who join the US Army don't know that they will have to fight?
They are all veterans or serving members in the military.
What have you ever done roman? Don't give me what your family has done, what have YOU ever done?
Keep digging up quotes from 'Farenheit 911' et al to support your somewhat nutty point.
