Anyone remember a past president of Egypt named Anwar Sadat?
He probably wished some soldiers in a certain parade had non-firing weapons.

Maybe Obama remembers that parade too.

If Obama has run this nation to a state of affairs where memories of Sadat worry him enough to disarm his own Honor Guard and Ceremonial troops? The man needs to consider resigning. He's the first President I know of to have forced the physical disabling of U.S. Military Rifles. He fears his own people, it would seem. That may be the norm in other nations. It's DANGER in 72pt Neon for America.

........and he relates to military men and gun owners? Hmm... Not so well I think.

Why were the bolts removed?

- They Weren't Marines.

Why do some of the Marines appear to be unshaven?
- It's hard to say whether that's beard shadow or just being unshaven with the distance of the footage

Why are they not marching in a straight line?

-They Weren't Marines. I saw a Marine Boot Camp Graduation 5 years ago, and the graduates had better lines than these Marines

Why are some Marines facing left while others are facing forward?

-Above!

Disgusting. I don't utilize the Obama is a Socialist argument like ever, but he does seem to be paranoid like Stalin when he has the bolts of their rifles removed. Not that these were marines.

Just kidding.

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but the bolts look intact in the image I posted.

Did all the Marines take out the bolts, or those just marching?

Why were the marines there so disorganized looking?

I'd love to hear if you know about if that was just accident or on purpose.

I watched a documentary about U.S army training techniques a while back and it has changed from sworn to protect the country and its allies to sworn to kill anyone who they are ordered to they use harsh brainwashing techniques that are drilled in so much they will kill on a order even if deep down they know its wrong they will open fire on U.S civilians if ordered weather they like it or not.

Hey thanks for replying and thanks for filling us in. I hope you don't feel to annoyed at us armchair guys who don't have a clue about marching in a marine parade

I guess people(like me) are just to used to the image of the perfect infallible hollywood marine, not the real life human being marines.

The thing that was the most obvious is the troops are out of position in the pack.
The pack is organized by height. The tallest people in the front, the shortest at the end of the group. And each line is organized by height within that line. That way it looks like a seamless group of people.

They are obviously out of order in the marching group.

Any troop leader would have quickly straightened them out if he wanted to.

And there is a lot of them giving an obvious facial expression of distaste.

Your lips should form a straight line. No smile and no frown. You should show no emotion.

I was not a marcher in the parade. But to the best of my knowledge all bolts were to be pulled. But that never stopped a Marine from not listening to what he was told.

Here is my explanation for the disheveled performance.

Keep in mind, Most of us had been there since 9pm the night before, with no chow and it was fricken freezing.
The whole thing was planned very poorly. You would think after 47 presidents there would be a better plan for running an inauguration. Sadly there is not.

Everyone was miserable, pissed off, and did not want to be there.

What's the point of putting in fake marines, if there are no bolts?

It's completely illogical.

Judging by the marching the "Marines" would have never gotten off Parris island. I know that when we marched like that at Ft Benning we got to stay longer and re do our marching training for days and days and... It seemed like it would never end.. Drilling Drilling Drilling... Ugh..

Those don't seem like Marines to me, maybe new recruits, but ehh.. I don't know.

If they are new recruits they are very new.

Another thing all these guys have at least one chevron. That shouldnt be the case really.

There are platoons that are in there final stages at the island that could give the 8th&I boys a run for their money with drill. These look like very raw boots.

Logic and this thread are two things that do not go together. Like Obama is sitting around planning the inauguration. Consindering how well he with the military in fund raising compared to Romney I am pretty sure he has no worries when it comes to the military.

You're kidding right?

He has shown, time and again, outright contempt for the military...

Ever heard of Chuck Hagel?

Hey, why not?
Do you think an impostor president deserves actual Marines?

The more I've thought about your response, with all due respect, I'm just not buying it.

Miserable, pissed off, should not have shown through....unless it was INTENDED disrespect, which is also hard for me to believe...

Why is it hard to believe?
A good portion of them hate him like the plague.

I'm rather surprised anyone is even surprised by this having happened by now. Not only has the topic of the marine's parade rifles being stripped of bolts been widely covered here, across the net and in the major media but that whole day was fake and insulting.

Our President has been around Hollywood types entirely too much, I think. He's confusing the real world where authenticity means REALITY ...with Hollywood, where it's simply a buzz word to be played for better ticket sales and audience reviews.

Lets see... We had Marines with the parade rifles further disabled by stripped bolts.

We heard "B eyonce admits she lip-synced at inauguration, will sing live at Super Bowl XLVII" from the inaguration singer. Who can blame her though, right? After all, the Marine Corp band's play was fake as well.

Marine Band Backs Off Beyonce Lip-Syncing Statement

You have to read that to get to the part where they admit they faked their end of it too, as the story is more about how they confirmed she'd lip sync'ed ....then backed off to say they couldn't tell at all. (Yeah.... who told them to shut up and restate that?). Interesting how that works.

I'd be interested to know at this point, how many previous inaugurations had major elements of them outright faked or creatively altered to be something other than what they appeared, if that would be a kinder way of stating it. If this is commonly done by the Presidents prior to this one, then that's one thing and I'd sure like to hear about that too. If not? 'Houston, we have a problem...', would be a good way of putting the opening days of his Administration here, IMO. We'll see.
