The military is built on routine and discipline. So much so that to the rest of us, the ceremonies look patently ridiculous.

Take the U.S. Army Honor Guard Rifle Inspection, for example. It goes on for far too long, and is a classic example of a practical purpose masked with nonsense. Style over substance, if you will.

This video takes a clip of the U.S. Army Honor Guard Rifle inspection, and adds a load of fitting sound effects over the top. It not only works, it makes the whole thing entertaining.

This is actually a taste of things to come, because these are the sorts of noises our robot overlords will make when preparing their weapons in the not-too-distant future.
