    In this specific ceremony you saw on that video the officer of the guards is at ease while he should be strict on those viewers and his inferiors. The other one that asks the people to get of the pavement so the ceremony will take place is also very calm and moving while he should take his place for the ceremony.

    @MrLUCIFER616 the marching is very slowly, this is the way for the tribute to unknown soldier, slowly steps and heavy, is very hard to get there, a few men can be selected for the president guard. if someone is on they way they dont stop, they continue to march over you... no stop and they dont look noone

    It is a common problem that viewers, many times are in the way and don't pay the proper attention, that's why the army change the protocol and some of the details, like, they don't inspect the rifle of the guards in public and they don't announce the ceremony anymore asking the people to be quiet and stand on his feet. This is because Greeks believe in democracy and the free right of a man to do as he likes.

    There's nothing funny to a ceremony that is dedicated to every soldier that gave up his life for freedom and democracy and we don't even know who he was... This ceremony needs to be respected for it is a calling of the dead soldiers that their bodies are somewhere out there, and yet their souls are every moment above the heads of those guards to inspect them as they are on duty.

    @Pseudonimolol yes lol and incredibly ironic. What was once a dominating military empire now has soldiers who dress and march like this

    It is a common sense that every Greek this is a tremendous loss especially for those guards because they guarding the monument of their fellow companion soldiers. We will guard this monument until every one of them will be identified by DNA tests that doing on every human remain we find on our battlefields of honor.

    @oJKBo Learn your history - Greece rarely had empires, and when it did, they were short-lived. Greece's glory has always been in its thinkers, and in the individualism of the people who refuse to have their freedom taken. You could learn a lot from the Evzoni and their history if you smartened up a bit.
