Incredible precision!

Now, on a more somber note, the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns, Arlington Cemetery:

Dave, they are very good, however, the marine silent drill team is better. Did you notice that they are using real rifles?

Here's a link to the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon.  Video quality isn't the best.

All of the military drill teams are outstanding - breathtaking, actually.  Especially if you've tried close order drill yourself.  :P

I have had the honor to see the Marine Silent Drill Team with the President's own Marine Corp Band at the the Texas State Fair in Dallas. Our military folks honor us so much it also brings tears to one's eyes.   Tom
