I disagree. Sure it might look funny, but its fan-fucking-tastic.
It shows pride in what they're doing. Motivation, respect, and it sure as hell brings the community together. It may look silly, but I'm sure those guys love what they're doing, and are very honored to be chosen for the ceremonies.
In my experience, you'd be hard pressed to find anything like that anywhere in our nations military. Maybe the 'Tomb of the unknown Soldier', and the Marine Corps silent drill team

From a drill and ceremonies standpoint, that is pretty fascinating.Comment

The military side of me looks at that and realizes how much time they had to put into that to get it that precise on both sides of the line. Very cool.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment
