Maybe don't put a group of human beings in a situation where they're constantly passing out then? Especially if they're children, it's wild that that's the comparison you use. The issue here isn't JUST that they're expected to do nothing when comrades are in trouble (yes, even with trained help there), but it's ALSO that people like you excuse it because it's "the norm." Like sure, yippee, they have trained help for when they pass out, but apparently they're EXPECTED to pass out? Ok
They're not expected to. But it happens. If you have concerts, people usually pass out. That's why you have trained medical staff on standby, no matter the event. It's just that the military has an organised way of doing it... Because it's the military.
Are these people ACTUALLY their military though, or just for show? I always thought they were just for show but I don't actually know. Not that it makes a huge difference, just curious
They do put on public displays, but they're actual soldiers in the army. Their primary duty is as a guard.
