Czech changing of the guards

[TheKrasnaludek]

White country - top tier

[rocelko]

like how many hours does a guard have to stay in that spot?

[usafisasome]

@rocelko Between 1 and 4 hours

[Leijonasisu]

and I thought getting dressed every morning sucked...

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

Remember people, THIS IS NOT A FUCKING SHOW FOR YOUR FUCKING ENJOYMENT! This is a time honored tradition witch displays discipline and tolerance. Leave them fucking be and go eat a hot dog, you fucking Americans. Signed, an American, so you can't hate on me.

[sniper0diper]

@FrozenKoolAidDude u mad bro?

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

@sniper0diper I'm just tired of these American tourists.

[BronyHeretic]

@FrozenKoolAidDude No body was doing anything to him though, and the fact you insulted your own country for a single man simply saying he has to endure hardships not normally faced in America just makes you dis-respectful and a complete dick.

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

@BronyHeretic When did I say anything like that? I said that Americans just think this is a performance or something. I never said anytihng like they should burn in hell or anything.

[BronyHeretic]

@FrozenKoolAidDude But in that video he did nothing wrong, saying that is an inference. But not most Americans think they are a performance. I know they're are some but he nor me and plenty of Americans don't think so.

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

@BronyHeretic Honestly, I am not trying to majorly insult or offend anybody, it's more of a joke than anything.

[TheHughdog37]

1st guards thoughts, "Well it's about f*cking time."

[Sp3ll633]

no lil show? =)

[spongekilla]

honor.



[ImGodUFUCK]

how many hours one guy guards at a time?

[MutantHippie]

@ImGodUFUCK I know the guards in the uk our there for around 2 hours, maybe this is the same here?

[keler500]

@MutantHippie

Czech honor guard after 1 hour.

[MutantHippie]

@keler500 Thank you for that :D

[keler500]

@MutantHippie

:)

[Eileen012L]

@MutantHippie I think that they change every hour, but not sure....

[saxopwned]

oh damn I think i've been here

[dao40k]

The Soviet traditions

[ATgodElite92]

@dao40k You mean first republic traditions, Soviets nearly destroyed all of this in our country. Now go and feel happy to be edjucated about something.

[dawidjoseph05]

resepct for all citizens of the Czech Republic

greetings from Poland

[OspreyCZ]

@dawidjoseph05 dziekujem ! :)

[Loketairsoft]

Great.I love Czech Republic.I love czech Army.I love Czech People. IM CZECH!!!

[Maierpartie]

loooool

"at Prague Castle"

silly question -.-

[BoxingsGreatest909]

Where is this???

[RuffneckBE]

@BoxingsGreatest909 Seriously? Do you even read titles anymore? Do you maybe think that the 'Czech' part in the title stands for Czech Republic? I'd say it's a pretty good guess ...

[Eileen012L]

@BoxingsGreatest909 In Prague

[xblalex]

lol thats ruff man ::P

[Peegy11]

Výměna stráží je vždycky pěkná .. :) jednoduché a pěkné :)

[lenn0671]

i know this is a dumb question, but why do they change the guards?

[marvincz3]

@lenn0671 Because it would be impossible for the same people to stand there the whole day without moving. Humans usually need to drink, eat and perform other similar tasks.

And of course it is a show as well.

[mortuusquodvacuus]

@lenn0671 Guards expire. To make their life last longer, they go in for maintenance.

[PepperDr94]

AS OF NOW everyone forget what I said! LMFAO

[koprh]

tohle s komunismem nema nic spolecnyho za komaru byl hrad uzavreny pro verejnost a takovouhle paradu by ste tezko hledali

[conkareno]

they are very similar to the kremlin.

[kvokadlo]

@conkareno I am Czech and I agree with you. It does have a certain comminist air about it...

[PepperDr94]

That is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen! No sarcasm! I wish we had stuff like this in America!

[NFC04]

@PepperDr94 wow, really? Won't don't you go educate yourself and look at some videos of the Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier

[PepperDr94]

@NFC04 Its still not as cool as that

[NFC04]

@PepperDr94 you have got to be kidding me....the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier is way more professional

[ReconMarine012]

@PepperDr94 We have some similar stuff to it. The Changing of the Guard is pretty much in any professional military. Look up some videos of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. It's similar to this.

[JordanJuno916]

US MARINES LANCE CORPORAL

[lexmark136]

Those guards look fukin stupid and useless, I bet they dont even have bullets in their useless bolt action rifles, hahah

[NumberDne]

LOL why is it rough? LOL what did you mean by that?

[majorpuppy00]

you all suck, go US army

[JDnx]

@majorpuppy00 that doesnt exactly help our image...

[ModernPsychology]

O_O its a ceremony to change guards... in that time they could all get shot instantly and let the queen die :( but its cool, they are super formal and real guards :)

[Marklar2010]

@ModernPsychology We dont have a queen :)))) We have the president...

[harofire]

i love how they get situated/prepared for the long guard. awesome.

[manofarms89]

i remember seeing this when i was i Prague, beautiful city, but can someone tell me what is the building they're guarding?

[kvokadlo]

@manofarms89 it's the Russian Embassy

[Xtacles009]

the only reason they looked sloppy is because they were fixing there uniforms, they are going to be standing there for hours they need to make themselves comfortable.

[alex471996]

how is our spazy? '( the British changing of the watch)

We march there. one stands guard whilst the officer reads out what they have to do, the guards change, they march away. How is that any different.

[Ferrariman601]

Simply, quick, efficient. So much better than the American/British ceremonies.

[creepsniper]

The American ceremony is pretty sharp while the Brits look spastic. This was cool but seemed a little sloppy.

[gavsky23]

Ah, so much respect for other people's traditions AND you manage to offend the disabled too. Hole in one...

[jdi0093113]

The american changing of the guard is a load of rubbish. They walk like they need a pee and alls they do is twirl a gun and then swing one clap to make a good sound instead of just getting stood in their shoes. The British changing of the watch like the Czech is fast and snappy and they march instead of walking like they need a pee and twirling unloaded guns around.

[alex471996]

U said it!!

[WillTheThrill3323]

@jdi0093113 the U.S. guards are fully armed.

[dineroRM]

Hmm but it could have been a lot sharper.

[alex471996]

you should watch the trooping the colour. The best annul military parade to see (as far as I know) correct me if I am wrong.

[grantburgh1]

wtf, how retarded is that?

[trunzo52]

Vaffanculo 765297! You are a cornutto. Why dont you kiss my Italian-American ASS!

[Aerba54]

Their shoes don't hit the ground at the same time... how sloppy.

[kvokadlo]

@Aerba54 calm down, honey...

[cadetkb]

would that march be considered the goose step or semi?

Very excellent!

[realhiphop10]

haha "rough man...thats real rough"

[Someloke8895]

Smiple, and effective, I like it.

[twohandtap]

You say that? First watch your american soldiers in Arlington that walk like geishas and then speak for the others :P

[flyingbug001]

stupid walk. this kind of army will be always defeated.

[765297]

In a way, you are right! Because this is only a tradition... Stupid American...

[amthunder1]

Hey 765297 Don't insult Americans because of one idiot. I'm an American and I respect the traditions of other nations. So, think before you go off putting us down.

America is awesome!!!

[kvokadlo]

@flyingbug001 I wonder where you come from :-DDD Let me guess...

[ColonelRHS]

Simple and quiet...I like the pause they give the on coming guard to adjust his hat and whatever before he assumes post.

[globetrotter0580]

very nice... I like this!!
