  • the older one touched his campaign

  • their normal routine the ancient Stones
  • 26:43
  • having witnessed yet another clash
  • 26:45
  • between civilian arrogance and Military
  • 26:47
  • discipline the outcome as always had
  • 26:50
  • been inevitable a reminder that some
  • 26:53
  • traditions endure not because they're
  • 26:55
  • relics of the past but because they
  • 26:57
  • represent time Timeless values of duty

  • 27:00
  • honor and
  • 27:01
  • respect what makes someone think they're
  • 27:04
  • above tradition above respect above the
  • 27:07
  • very institutions that have stood guard
  • 27:10
  • over our civilization for
  • 27:12
  • centuries maybe it's the Modern Age of
  • 27:14
  • instant gratification that convinces
  • 27:16
  • some people their personal convenience
  • 27:19
  • outweighs centuries of protocol or
  • 27:22
  • perhaps it's the entitled belief that
  • 27:24
  • money and Status put them beyond the
  • 27:26
  • reach of rules that apply to everyone
  • 27:29
  • else but as we saw today some lessons
  • 27:32
  • come at a higher price than designer
  • 27:34
  • outfits and legal
  • 27:36
  • fees the Royal Guards aren't actors in a
  • 27:39
  • historical reenactment or theme park
  • 27:41
  • entertainers they are highly trained
  • 27:43
  • soldiers carrying on a tradition of
  • 27:45
  • service that stretches back through
  • 27:47
  • generations their discipline isn't for
  • 27:50

  • negotiation next time you visit
  • 27:55
  • Buckingham Palace or any historical
  • 27:57
  • Institution remember this respect isn't

  • 28:01
