Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Monarchism can kill a few people. As a treat
Edit: Also, what makes you read the article with that tone? If anything I'd say it's overly "wow look at our dutiful boys in plumed bowler hats"
Stuff like 'even the soldiers need to replenish their fluids' or 'Even our best soldiers absolutely must drink water to be able to carry out their duties'.
Soldiers?! Drink WATER?!?!?!!? They are humans. Of course they gotta drink water. Why does this article exist?! It's so stupid that it gives me that vibe.
Like, I know it's a basic-ass fluff piece, but it's also all about how this fucking dumbass tradition of having guys in woolen uniforms guard a building in the summer heat is oh so whimsical and traditional. Paints it as good, basically. I dunno I may just be irony poisoned.
I see.
