            Intentionally putting a large number of people in a position that they are likely to pass out from heat exhaustion isn’t normally considered a good thing…

            Especially, when it’s because it “looks cool”. And your response to this knowledge, isn’t to change putting them in that situation, but dedicate people to picking them up and getting them out of sight.

        Wonder what happened to that guy. I don’t think he didn’t face any consequences for embarassing them.

          I don’t see why he would have? Fainting is a natural human biological function. And if you think that someone - who put their life on the line for our country - succumbing to that is an “embarrassment”, then you are an embarrassment.

            I think the point is powerful people with money don’t give a shit about the peasants. I don’t think that’s the case here, but I’m using my context clues to understand the point, given that OP used this language: “living decorations”.

            He most likely locked his knees standing at attention too long. It’s not an uncommon occurrence in training. I saw one guy do it during a locker inspection and whack his head hard on a bench on the way down. The fall itself is the real danger.

        You’re still defending a public display for a monarch who doesn’t have to do any real work even once in their life and gets everything handed to them on a silver platter
