Point taken. RedRaymaker is just a layman, not a military buff. Next time Red will go up and inspect the detail of the guard's badge in the hope of making such schoolboy errors. Hopefully Red won't be bayonetted in the process though.

Excellent, very professional troops. I would say on par or better than U.S Airborne. Highly respect these guys, they are combat infantry. They do this guard duty as part of their service. Idiot tourists do not show enough respect at times. I yelled at some fellow Americans last time over who were being morons-they just don't know they are combat troops. I saw some spanish speaking people being incredibly disrespectful-South America I think. I'd buy these guys a pint any day. Much respect mates.

@giggedy4goo Better. Britain has the second highest power projection behind the US. Britain has a small amount (191,730) of very professional soldiers, the US has much greater numbers but generally less training.

@giggedy4goo I watched a documentary on them today and that made me gain a lot of respect for them.

@andrew8833 If we're gonna be picky, -technically- there's no such thing as Household Regiments. There's the Household Division which consists of the the five Guards Regiments and the Household Cavalry (which is in turn made up of the Blues and Royals and the Life Guards. (Not trying to be a dick or anything =D)

[andrew8833]

@darkfyreaol They also arent allowed to get distracted either.

Thats what I have always respected about all of the 5 household regiments.

Wonderful part of the Brit Army I think makes me feel proud to be a Brit, once you embrace the history of this excellent country!

God I love being British!
