Another School Shooting

[Speaker to Animals]

ROTC can do it. That's not like burying fallen soldiers.

[Smitty-48]

We don't have JROTC here, so I don't even know how that works, there's no such thing as cadet officers here, the cadets don't get commissioned, they're in the regiment, but they're not in the military, they honestly wouldn't get a military funeral here, they'd probably have their fellow cadets show up in uniform to pay respects, but formal military honours are reserved for formal military service, paramilitary is not the military, where I come from at least.

ONE LESS: Scott Pappalardo owned his AR-15 rifle for more than 30 years. He even has a Second Amendment tattoo on his arm. This weekend, he destroyed his gun “to make sure this weapon will never be able to take a life.”

lmao what a fucking dope

Full military honors for a cadet? No. Bear in mind what FMH means; that's the JFK treatment with caisson and riderless horse, etc.

Standard military honors maybe, but even combat KIA's don't get FMH below the rank of Colonel.

Not gonna happen tho, they're not gonna give that kid FMH, these people are just blabbering on about shit they don't know.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Just do what's normal for cadet's who've died in the past. Can't be the first one.

It's not like we all get to go to Arlington.

[Okeefenokee]

Just fyi for the low infiormation public, FMH does not honor the circumstances of your death, it honors the full depth and breadth of your entire career, you could be awarded the MoH and not get FMH, FMH is like a lifetime achievement award so to say.

This is not to say that a cadet cannot have a military burial, flagged draped drop with honor guard of his peers, ain't nothing wrong with dat.

But the Old Guard, Caisson, and Riderless Horse symbolizing the death of a War Chief? I mean, ca'mon, America, get a grip.

The kid got shot in school, he didn't serve in World War Two, tragic does not FMH make, there's millions of guys who served in World War Two who never got FMH.

I don't think they are going all out like that. This could be a mission for the JROTC to learn about that particular part of drill and ceremony. Taps, flag, 21 gun salute, yeah, no problem. This was written by civilians they don't know what they are talking about give them a little of the D&C, it won't be no state function.

21 gun salute? Dial it back, son, he's not Audie frikkin' Murphy, a flag draped casket and the JROTC honor guard is fine, guy's killed in Iraqistan don't get 21 gun salutes.

We do seven rifles, three rounds; 21 shot salute. I never looked into it, but I figured it was 21 rounds for a reason.

[Smitty-48]

The gun salute is a naval tradition dating to the 1600's, a Man o' War would discharge its guns before it entered a harbour to demonstrate that it was not a threat, as with breaches cleared it was at the mercy of the shore batteries, the British salute was 3 rounds fired per gun, and at the time a Man o' War mounted 7 guns per broadside, hence the 21 gun salute.

[Okeefenokee]

Wouldn't one volley clear the gun, or did they have a 3 round magazine?

[Smitty-48]

Wouldn't one volley clear the gun, or did they have a 3 round magazine?

The Royal Navy adopted a three round volley as the National Salute, ceremonial. 21 Gun Salute; British Man o' War pays compliments without hostile intent.

Shoulda reported that to IG. Waste, fraud, and abuse.

[Smitty-48]

Nah, the had no radios and they had very limited optics, so a Man o' War appears on the horizon, you probably don't know who that is nor what his intentions are, gun salute; not hostile, 21 gun salute; Royal Navy.

Royal Navy rules the waves, they can afford the ammo, it's big pimpin', gang sign.
