The title isn't disrespectful. It's a compliment if anything. Robots are cold killing machines. Robots are efficient. Robots are strong. Robots show no weakness or emotion, only true discipline. Robots are superhuman.
I actually wish somebody would say I did something like a fucking robot.
BTW this video is fucking retarded. They're not talking like robots. THEY ARE ROBOTS! Robots are powerful, efficient and perfect, which is what these guys are supposed to be like.
I am in honor guard at the fire dept. I get talked to and I don't take offense to it. It's part of the military. And if he didn't like it, he shouldn't have watched it. Lol that's my perspective.
Hey Uh LUCASLOVERS23 how did you go from 12 years old to 17 years old from april 27 to Janurary 27. Thats 4 years. Not trolling just pointing out the facts
I really don't think that anyone out there in the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" even knows why there is a guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. That guard at the Tomb represents each and every life that was lost in the defense of this country. As they, those dead who once stood between our nation and the madmen of the world who want to do us harm, now stands the silent guard keeping vigil over those who gave their all so that we may remain free. He is there for those still living.
I could've sworn that was someone else talking through I microphone or something...No offense to the Army. I through they had that recorded or something, and when it was time it just played. It sounded way to much like a robot or something for it to be the guard. I REPEAT, NO OFFENSE TO THE ARMY, I AM JUST STATING AN OPINION!
@brizzurker1984 When it comes to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers there is no room for humor at all. This is a an extremely formal memorial committed to the fact that our fallen heroes gave their all in the name of American forever living in a free nation.
Look I understand that, I do more than most I was Airbourne Cavalry, recon. I get it why noise isn't tollerated AT the tomb. What I don't understand is self righteous ass-whipes who have never went anywhere in defense of anything (I'm not talking about you im talking about the idiots that freaked out and cussed the kid who posted this video) get all defensive and act like morons and THE authority on what one is aloud to giggle at. It's a big picture thing.
This video's title shows no disrespect. I was part of the 3rd infantry regiment and one of my groomsman is a Sentinel. Keep the title kid and everyone else, DO PUSH-UPS!
@RobChrise04 Maybe you are right. With the country falling into pieces maybe it is a good idea to keep this ridiculous useless so called ceremony. It might serve to guard the remains of the USA. Yet I doubt that in a few years there will be any tax payers' money left to pay for it.
@anaclet Your right, because disbanding the old guard will solve all of our tax problems. This whole tea party "lets cut taxes thing" has gone a little too far. This has been a proud tradition of honoring the fallen of war and I think its UnAmerican to arbitrarily disband a proud (relatively cost effective) ceremony to save a few dimes of taxpayer money that you probably didn't contribute a whole lot to in the first place.
@RobChrise04 How do you dare?! I've paid tons of dollars in taxes for the Government and the wars I never asked for. It is high time the Government starts cutting useless expenses and this ridiculous robot like, Michael Jackson mimmicks is a good start. UnAmerican my ass!
@anaclet I'm sure you paid a lot of taxes. Tomb Guards?! How much money would that save the american people....how much more of an impact do those guards and what they do have on the visitors at arlington. What an example of solemness to pass on. Lets just bulldoze arlington and build businesses there! Thats a great idea! People like you, who would be ok with a part of our culture like the tomb of the unknown soldier being dispanded to save money, makes me sick to my stomach.
@RobChrise04 Then take a pill for your stomach. You give me impression that you don't know what is going on in America. The country has gone bankrupt. The question is not if but when it is going to be officially anounced. No matter all the taxes we've been paying all those years, the politicians of Washington have wasted it all. And a lot of that money went to those false wars, like the invasion of Iraq and the Abu Ghraib. And yeah, making arlington into a parking lot may be a very good idea.
@anaclet What in the ploop is wrong with you, comparing the guard to Michael Jackson? Those guards are there as a commitment to retaining the dignity of the fallen heros who gave their all, as a living example to always honor the cost of freedom, so we never break our guard and allow it to faulter. It's worth it to pay the standard salaries for these few committed men to guard the tomb. They refuse to ever leave their post in bad weather, 24/7. I'm a veteran. It's worth it!
@ANGELBLU2042 Well just take a look at their movements and you'll see how much alike they are to the late Michael Jackson's dance, specially in the musical 'I'm bad'. The only difference is that Jackson did it way better. As far as the rest of your comment, it sounds like brainwash, the usual clichés. What America must understand is that the country has gone bankrupt and that the era of useless spending has come to an end.
@camdawg24 Well just take a look at their movements and you'll see how much alike they are to the late Michael Jackson's dance, specially in the musical 'I'm bad'.

Honestly people? I posted this when I was 12. I'm 17 now. I had respect for them then as I still do now. I don't even know why I'm bothering commenting this. It's a title. If I really had the intention to "diss" the army don't you think it would be a bit rather more extreme than this? Disregarding the fact that I actually attended this which shows my respect. Thank you for those who are understanding.
@LUCASLOVER23 Is it as amazing in real life as it is on video? I would love to attend a CotG ceremony, but Florida school systems don't have the money to pay for a trip to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I very much respect you for attending this, I'm 14 now, a freshman, in Army JROTC but I'm enlisting in Air Force.
@LUCASLOVER23 i see your point. it is understandable for a child to make an honest mistake although it isnt a direct insult. only if people take it that way it is
All you haters... We liberated Europe twice... Ask South Korea if they are happy we jumped in to stop the invasion from the North. I'm not saying we're perfect, but we've done some good work.
As a veteran I think you need to be shipped over seas and get a taste of what i seen. You prolly thought it was funny the way they talk. This is there job the will always be guarding the unknown and they do it with respect which is something you do not have.
@marineguy46383 hello i am a guard of the unkown soldier. i thank you for your help on this video. it should be took of the air. please email me at bb8806436@Gmail.com
@andyli916: you obviously don't have much to do with your free time. Soldiers get shot at and blown up on a daily basis. You really think that our skin is so thin that we'd get insulted at a guy making a harmless observation to title a video? Find a hobby.
@jarez305 ok Jarez now u can shut up with the insults i think we get ur point we understand i u feel but damn if u harp on the ppl that tell lucaslover bad things like they harped on him/her k just a head up
@ginger448211 Seriously? I got on ONE guy who acted like douche, and now I'm harping on people? Have you bothered scrolling down to see all the nonsense being written? All I said was he needs to find something to do with his free time. I even went on to explain why most soldiers don't find this title offensive. It's not like I was layering on insults with no basis just to piss someone off. Here's a heads up for you, if you don't have anything constructive to contribute to a convo, stay out of it
@andyli916 so if he thinks he talks like a robot, its not a big deal he actually went to watch the changing of the guard he clearly has plenty of respect for soldiers
i think he was being very clear so everyone could hear especially if some dickhead decided to talk loudly so he would have every reason to yell at them..wouldnt blame him either. thank you to the servicemen and women
Hello all. I did two tours with TOG. This is the way the COR is taught to address the spectators. Every COR uses the same pattern of the inflection of their address. It is a position that commands the utmost respect! The person who gave this vid the title is a little on the ignorant side.
I will soon be a part of the few women. I will serve beside my brothers and sisters who are thinking of joining the military. Howeve I am. And nothing will change my decision.
I saw the ceremony on a trip with my graduating class. I cried when I saw this take place mostly because of how proud I am of those who protects us and our fallen soldiers.
This voice is referred to as Command Voice. It is articulate, crisp, and understandable when all hell is breaking loose. Don't feel too bad about those who don't get it. I'm a Vet as was my father and his. We swore to protect and defend the rights of even those that "don't get it".
God Bless the American Soldier. We've liberated continents and never kept more ground then was required to bury our fallen.
@Perseankkuri Yes because throughout history, war is fought by us for no reason whatsoever. In fact, North Korea wasn't murdering thousands in South Korea. The Japanese where not taking over all of Asia. In fact, insurgents are nice people, and they would love to hear your opinion. But thats right, your full of shit. Every war this nation has ever fought has been justified. No land was ever taken, and many times, the victim of their own stupidity to provoke a nation as this, recieves aid. Fact.
hey man this is truly disrespectful to my fallen brothers please change the title and as for those who dont understand the professionalism behind the way he speaks how bout you do something for your country instead of make fun of it.
and as for the discussion below about who lies in the Tomb of the Unknowns, It's the unidentified remains of WWI, WWII, and Korea. There used to be the remains of an unknown Vietnam soldier, but he was identified in 1998 and removed. It's home to ANY unidentified remains. If we have a casualty in Iraq or Afaghanistan tomorrow, he/she will be laid to rest in this tomb. The only reason you don't see this is because of DNA testing, so it's unlikely to have an unknown. hope this helps
Ok, some people really are taking this too seriously. the person who posted it thinks the sergeant of the guard talks like a robot. people made the same comment about me when I was a drill sergeant. it's not disrespectful, the person is just stating an opinion. I know some sergeants who pride themselves of that talent. (myself included) lay off the guy who posted this. the fact that he attended the ceremony says enough about his level of respect.
@jarez305 Yeah in Britain the officers take the piss out of the sergeants for talking rough and in common accents, and the sergeants out of us for talking like toffs, but there's no lack of respect between any of us...
@jarez305 agreed fully. Drill Sergeant Baltimore sounded like the default "Fred" voice, but he remains to this day, one of the people who I feel shaped my character. Give the kid a break. This he may one day defend (jarez will get that one, I'm sure).
Yes. I've seen it. And I've see something like that happen when I was visiting the Tomb of the Unknown. The Guards will present their rifle and take alert. If you ever drop a water bottle past the post, leave it there. The soldiers guarding their post take their job seriously. Out side of guarding the post, they have taken a oath not to Curse or drink alcohol. If they get caught, they are strip of their duty.
@WVWGCAPCadetLunsford - Actually, the oath you refer to is not true. Most of that email which has been floating around for over a decade is false. But ... they DO take their duty very seriously.
I guess the 'Unknown Soldier' Represnts all soldier who have fallen in combat and could not be identified or found. correct me if im wrong. We have something similar in australia, minus the guards.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a Memorial of those who died in past and recent wars. Guarding it is taken serious. The soldiers who guard the memorial have respect for their fallen Comrades and will protect their grave to the death.
Remains from unidentified American soldiers from WWI, WWII, and the Korean War were selected to represent all of the unknowns who lay in unmarked graves across the globe. They also represent all of the American military personnel who went off to war and and gave their lives for their country. There used to be an unknown from Vietnam, but through DNA testing, his remains were identified and removed from the Tomb of the Unknowns.
wow that comment is even more studpid than MY OWM comment. i'll admit mines kinda dumb but yours is completely retarted!!! u better believe that there isn't just "ONE" american that doesn't know that. at least i know of its existence i can guarantee u, u could ask and i'll literally bet money that a third of kids and young adults have never even heard of it.
You're letting your intelligence show with words like studpid, OWM, mines, retarted, but then again you don't know what the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is, so I rest my case. I'll get you a dictionary for Christmas, idiothole...
O.K. first of all intelligence has nothing to do with grammar. and excuse me that i don't go back and revise on worthless stuff and assholes like YOURSELF. still, way to cover up the original argument about I'M not the ONLY American that doesn't know about the tomb! look through all the comments. i think that proves my case still. not everyone knows what it is.
we should all respect this video because if these unknown soldiers were not unknown we might have not had freedom we hould RESPECT THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIES FOR US AS WELL AS THESE UNKNOWN SOLDIERS U PEOPLE DONT EVEN CARE ALL THIS VID IS ABOUT IS A NORMAL SOLDIER WHOS TALKIN LIKE A ROBOT THAT I THINK IS NORMAL .FAMILIES CANT GO TO A GRAVE SITE TO TALK TO THEM. THEY CANT PLEED AND TALK TO THEIR LOVED ONES. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS R.I.P UNKNOWN SOLDIERS I RESPECT YOU
It doesn't matter what branch of military is guarding what. Yes there is friendly competition between the services especially with Marines and Army but we all know that when it is time to fight for the freedom of our nation and others we fight together. And.... for the moron that called the Commander of the Relief a robot, you couldn't stand there two seconds without whining that your precious feet hurt much less go and fight for your freedom.
-sighs- I hope one day to be in some sort of natinal Colorguard. Theres my passion ^_^ I would be THAT honored to hold our natinal flag or be a guard. As it is i get alot of practice with being in the Battalion Colorguard. -caugh- so yes. i got a little off track. my point is. honor your country and serve it any which way posible.
guard talkin like a robot....really you asshole....as a soldier in the mass guard currently going to school for the honor guard it pisses me off that you find it funny....do me a favor and research some shit and find out how fucking hard it is to be privliaged to get this job
ur trying really hard to be proud and moto......but dont bash any other service if u dont know what ur talkin about ......these men arent marines they are soldiers......... i appreciate your faithful spirit to our beloved corps but these men here stand for a cause hey believe whole heartidly in..... if u are a usmc girl idk how u would think they are marines...the uniforms arent even close...and its not spelled HOO RAH..its ohh rah!!! and unless u have earned it dont say it
The reason they talk like that is because not only so everyone can hear him, but he is ordered to talk like that. You are supposed to talk loud, and be proud. Thats why the motto is: THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE MARINES. HOO RAH!
This is not a marine this is a soldier........Only Members of the Uinted States Army 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) may Guard the tomb of the unknown soldier.....these rights are solely reserved for the ARMY because they are the Senior Service in the US Military
yes you are correct, i cant tell you how many people confused us with marines when i was down there, i was there with the old guard from 2002 - 2005, I was in honor guard (Echo) company, and had the honor of going through the training cycle at the tomb. Unfortunately, I only made it to my 4th test and didnt pass, but i still had the HONOR and Privelage of about two dozen walks in that timeframe as well as many wreath ceremonies.
- is quite used to this- it's more or less called barking at our school but it is very clear when speaking that way.
And the 21 gun soulute is very very essential to an emerican soldier who passes away. it's acully quite emotinal, ebcause when my father died i exsperianced this. it hurts a little.
Pwnage your an EFFING ENLIST and until you go through Graduation DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU DON't AMMOUNT TO SHIT!
I wish i could of een this. my class went on a trip to D.C this year and i wasnt allowed because of grades. it kills me to think i could have been there.
its every 21 minutes. because the numbers in the year 1776, which is the year we won our independence, equal 21. at least, thats what i heard. i might be wrong
You were correct in your guess that you were incorrect haha - no offense but the 21 from 1776 is just a coincidence.
The 21 Gun Salute is part of our Naval History. It started off as 13 for each of our colonies and worked up to 26 before it was settled on 21. you can look it up on wikipedia and get more information on the topic.
I used to be one of the members who fired on funerals in Arlington =)
Obama awarding the Medal of Honor?!? I just think its funny since he cleary hates our way of life and hasnt served his country in any way...ever. Then again, few democrats have aaand he was elected...oh well.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yes....youthful fucking ignorance.... did someone bone you in the ass when you were 2? did you not have a childhood? poor poor thing..... here since im so full of 'youthfull ignorance' you can have some of mine and shove it
hey, i've got an idea, like is commented before, maybe you should go into the military and ask to be shipped to iraq. do you vote? if not, shut the fuck up. your opinion doesn't count.
heh, funny, know why? because if you knew anything about me, you'd know im enlisting in october of 09, so guess what dirt bag, your last isult was completely wasted on the fact that yes, I AM JOINING THE ARMY, AND I WILL GLADLY GO TO IRAQ IF IT MEANS CUM RECEPTICLES LIKE YOU CAN EVEN GET THE RIGHT TO "SPEAK" no matter how retarded and unintelligent you may be. Good day SIR!
pwnage91, joining the army doesn't give you the right to be all pomp and gall. Its a responsibility, and judging by your opinions, you have no right to wear that uniform. You don't know what hard work is yet. If you're enlisting, Tell me you went to Fort Knox or Fort Sill. At least then they'll knock some sense into that thick skull of yours. Do us servicemembers a favor and man up. Stop insulting others like a child. You're giving us a bad name.
your comment doesn't make a bit of sense. why call him/her a pansy? maybe you need to go into the military and get the shit kicked out of you in order for you to grow up. putting a comment like that on here is so childish. maybe you need to grow some stones asshole.
As a former member(93-94) of The Old Guard, I can't believe some of the things I have read on here.I also served in the 75th Ranger Regement and 2/19th Special Forces Group. As for "speaking like a robot" comment,I would love to show the poster of this clip some of the other skills I learned while serving.Please remove this, or change the title to something more respectful. Not for the NCOIC,not for myself, but for my fallen brothers and sisters that this tomb was built for. Disrespecting SOB!
thankyou for your service im an airmen in training for TACP you might have been deployed with one we provide CAS for army units im still in training so im not a TACP yet i havnt earned my black beret yet lol
The title isn't disrespectful. It's a compliment if anything. Robots are cold killing machines. Robots are efficient. Robots are strong. Robots show no weakness or emotion, only true discipline. Robots are superhuman.
I actually wish somebody would say I did something like a fucking robot.

@andyli916: you obviously don't have much to do with your free time. Soldiers get shot at and blown up on a daily basis. You really think that our skin is so thin that we'd get insulted at a guy making a harmless observation to title a video? Find a hobby.

All I said was he needs to find something to do with his free time. I even went on to explain why most soldiers don't find this title offensive. It's not like I was layering on insults with no basis just to piss someone off. Here's a heads up for you, if you don't have anything constructive to contribute to a convo, stay out of it

Hello all. I did two tours with TOG. This is the way the COR is taught to address the spectators. Every COR uses the same pattern of the inflection of their address. It is a position that commands the utmost respect! The person who gave this vid the title is a little on the ignorant side.

@Perseankkuri Yes because throughout history, war is fought by us for no reason whatsoever. In fact, North Korea wasn't murdering thousands in South Korea. The Japanese where not taking over all of Asia. In fact, insurgents are nice people, and they would love to hear your opinion. But thats right, your full of shit. Every war this nation has ever fought has been justified. No land was ever taken, and many times, the victim of their own stupidity to provoke a nation as this, recieves aid. Fact.

and as for the discussion below about who lies in the Tomb of the Unknowns, It's the unidentified remains of WWI, WWII, and Korea. There used to be the remains of an unknown Vietnam soldier, but he was identified in 1998 and removed. It's home to ANY unidentified remains. If we have a casualty in Iraq or Afaghanistan tomorrow, he/she will be laid to rest in this tomb. The only reason you don't see this is because of DNA testing, so it's unlikely to have an unknown. hope this helps

Yes. I've seen it. And I've see something like that happen when I was visiting the Tomb of the Unknown. The Guards will present their rifle and take alert. If you ever drop a water bottle past the post, leave it there. The soldiers guarding their post take their job seriously. Out side of guarding the post, they have taken a oath not to Curse or drink alcohol. If they get caught, they are strip of their duty.

You were correct in your guess that you were incorrect haha - no offense but the 21 from 1776 is just a coincidence.
The 21 Gun Salute is part of our Naval History. It started off as 13 for each of our colonies and worked up to 26 before it was settled on 21. you can look it up on wikipedia and get more information on the topic.
