      It gives you pride that the military is dressed in red coat? Even the military recognizes the brave soldiers before didn’t wear red coats, they wear this today as a “luxury” for the ideal situation.

    If not mistaken, the drum major of the Fife and Drum Corps is the only personnel in the entire United States Armed Forces authorized to salute with a left hand. At 3:07, that's the drum major.

    • @bilcarter
      @bilcarter 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      You are indeed mistaken. In the United States Navy, there are two instances when a member may salute with their left hand.
      1 - If the right hand is encumbered by injury, preventing the render of a salute
      2 - When a boatswain's mate is serving as a sideboy and is using his/her right hand to hold the call pipe, he/she must salute with the left.

      US Musicians wore the reverse colors of their parent infantry units, so as to stand out on the battlefield. This made it easier for officers to locate them so they could signal commands. The soldiers of the 3d US Infantry Regiment wore blue coats with red trim, thus their musicians had red coats with blue trim.
