The biggest compliment you can give for those guys, is to let them do their jobs in peace without making stupid comments, trying to make them laugh or disturbing them in any way. They are not some silly-looking puppets that are there for your amusement. They're professional soldiers who have been in real combat situations. It's very serious business and not all of them make it. Respect for Grenadier Guards from Finland

Ok I'm an American veteran, a proud member of the Cavalry branch. I served a million years ago, when dinosaurs and Cold Warriors proudly walked the Earth. I've always had the greatest respect for the British Army, but let me share a small thing. On the morning after September 11th 2001, I, like my whole nation, was in a state of severe shock. We were angry, grieving, and as a combat veteran I was deeply concerned for our troops who would soon be going into harm's way against an enemy that wasn't even a nation-state. But that morning, for the first time in my memory [and I'm a military historian], band of the Guards Brigade played 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham. I am not a particularly demonstrative man, but I literally cried. The simple gesture of respect was a very moving moment for me. And I'm not the only one. I live near a major military base and our region has one of the highest veteran populations in the country. ALL of my fellow has-beens felt the same way. If it means anything at all, please accept the respects and regards of an old cavalry corporal.

I honestly don't understand why these types of videos become grounds for pissing matches. Yeah okay, I'm an American serving in the United States Army. These guys are British serving in the British Army, there are traditions and there are things that each country does that keeps their militaries true to their roots. I found this video extremely interesting to see what my allied brothers in arms go through in order to get where they want to be. Screw off with this WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU mentaility. Half of the people saying it most likely haven't served a day in their lives in their respective military force.

It's just surreal knowing all these things behind the scene. The training. The honour. The duty. The responsibility. It's more than becoming a guard. I feel closer to the royal family just by watching them here in the small screen of my phone. Now, watching this documentary and seeing a zoomed view of the palace, it made me realized how important the royal family is especially the Queen with all her Guards. It's a reality that they are not that easily accessible or a just a sight to see. And you're just one of those million tourists who peep by the gate or stand outside the gate. Seeing the Queen's Guard should be considered as privileged. How much more if you see the Royal Family themselves. My utmost respect to them! Salute.

That is because you are dealing with a bunch of ignorant morons who have never served in the military. The Americans and the British are brothers in arms. It makes no difference who is better or worst, we are on the same side. I am an American and can tell you, from experience, the British Royal Marines are the toughest bastards I have ever met. I am glad they are on our side. I would not want to be their enemy. The Brits are sending troops to Ukraine on behalf of NATO and the free world.

My dad was a Guardsman so i have a lot of pride when I see these lads..... even though I didn't follow him into the Guards, I chose something else. There is nowhere else in the World where they have an unbelievable 350+ years long and proud tradition of numerous Foot Guards Regiments, 2 Cavalry Regiments and mounted Kings Troop RHA that do both ceremonial and fighting duties.... I am immensely proud of my Country and our traditions.🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
