I’m a vet. And I’m no expert on high military formalities.
I just got done scrutinizing the footage of the supposed inauguration. So much does not jive with previous ceremonies.
The big one for me was when the parade sergeant of the platoon dressed as Revolutionary soldiers tipped his lance and took off his hat.
Correct me if I’m wrong. But isn’t that akin to a challenge? Like “Come at me, bro”?
Previous inaugurations said sergeant gave a standard salute.
The longer it goes on like this, the more likely it is the 'bad guys' have total control and are also more likely to dispense with the entire system soon. If they don't even bother to maintain appearances it means it soon won't be meaningful any longer.
