I always dance while on duty although constantly sitting makes it a bit less obtrusive or noticeable.

Well how about those Royal Thai Army guards? They sure know how to put on a show. Now, if I just had a zoom lens and they were all naked!

Much better!

Too bad the Col. Blimps don't have a sense of humor. Poor guy was probably bored out of his skull out there.

Serving in the military is much like flying, hours and hours of boredom, followed by a few minutes of sheer terror.

I liked the Royal Thai Army, even clothed.

If they are just for show, then a little leeway is fine in how they act, however these guys are more than that and regardless of the boredom factor, they need to be disciplined and follow the proper decorum.

[RA1]

You are absolutely correct on many counts. First, military discipline. Second, the importance of the duty. Third, self respect.

I would hate to see the serviceman guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Solider acting up this way.

Very well done, soldier.

Interesting to see so many replies, so soon, on a forum I thought few members visited regularly.

Yahoos have their rights but so do those who are not.
