The French Foreign Legion picture you had was of Pioneer Sergeants. They are the only serving members allowed to grow beards and are equipped with various tools like axes. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Pioneer Sargeants would dispose of dead horses and would wear leather aprons to protect their uniform, also they carried tools to remove road obstacles like fallen trees and rocks. Modern Day its just part of the uniform, and is more ceremonial than anything.
+Ignalis Whas searching for this, thought I was the only one who knew!
also the British royal guard's hat came from their victory at waterloo as the French had loads of bear pelts that the British then captured and turned into hats
+NorwegianAvenger
well the Bearskin hat had been a common headwear throughout Europe forGrenadier units (and other elite infantry) for along time.
And the French did not have alot of Bearl Pelts.
They had alot of Bearskin hats (name for the helmet the royal guards use)
As all the French Grenadier units wore Bearskins and also some of the most famous french units like the Old guard also wore the Bearskin hats.
The British did not use Captured French Hats either as the French bearskin hat was of a
different design.
After the battle of Waterloo (and the end of the napoleon war)
One British unit Originally called the 1st Foot Guards where changed to the Grenadier Guards and after that allowed to wear Bearskin hats.
But the reason they were Given the new name and given the Bearskin hats was actually a mistake.
Amongst Frances most Famous and most Elite Units at the time were the Imperial Guard Grenadier Regiments.
And they all wore Bearskin hats (With the most well known of the regiments being the 1st Foot Grenadiers Regiment also known as the Old guard)
During the battle of Waterloo The 1st Foot Guard had defeated a unit wearing bearskins that they thought to have been the Imperial Grenadiers but in fact was a Light infantry unit of the Imperial guard (2nd Foot Chasseur Regiment)
And it was as they were thought to have defeated the most elite unit of the french army they were honored and had the word Grenadier added (as they thought they had defeated the Imperial Grenadiers)
And by the time the mixup was realised it was so far on they decided to stick with it.
(they also kept stating they had defeated the Imperial Grenadiers even after it had been disproven)
in the 1830s more British guard units were also given Bearskins.
And in time it became standard for the British guard.
And since the Royal guard is made out of members from the different Guard Units they use the Traditional/Ceremonial Bearskin hat.
Mattebubben Wow, that's a lot of info, thanks for clearing that up for me :)
the uniform that the evzones wear are the one that greek fighters were wearing in the revolution against the turkey
@Soundwave 47 ow fuck off dude you dont even know where it came from and the past of the country so it might not be srupid
@Αγόρι Πεταλίδα kebab kid !!
Alex Patsas probably the Turkish were laughing their asses off when fighting them lol
Alex Patsas arvanites had this uniform ;) they aint greek people. Stop telling lies about your „glory“ history. Mostly stolen.
Monaka San you started insulting little scumbag yet you call me being childish? Greek mentality
About the shoes of the Evzones. That little puff they have in the front was used to cover up some sharp "attachments" they used to put in there, for close combat. So, these are for hiding these objects. This shoe also is equipped with 50 nails under it, for each shoe, also for close combat but for walking on uneven terrain, as well.
The skirt, while it is now linked to females, back then was linked to war, because it was made for the Evzones (back when they were actually fighting) to be flexible and stretch as far as they can. It actually helped the Greeks win a war against an army who faces issues with their uniform. I don't recall which war that was, though.
1821 revolution against Turkey.
for the people who think thats a stupid thing there is the information
but the vid was still funny even this part!
+George Athanasiou gg
The skirt was also for slowing down the enemy swords on hit. And the tires on there legs and arms was for tiring when they was cuted or shooted to slow the blood loss . ;)
They used puffs for close combat ? now we know why Turks are rulling Constantinapolis
The feeling when you are Greek am have actually worn the evzone costume
John Oliver you are fucking stupid and disrespectful
John Oliver its not respect someone ,its respect someones culture!btw the reason why shoes got that fluffy thing is because the were hiding some small blade so the turks couldnt see and the wear those skirts because its was easier to run and climb mountains...and back then it was the only option or the turks might gets ya..now do you understand why i called you disrespectedful...look i know those uniforms look kinda funny back they carrying history and traditions in their back...so plz respect that
K Koron The boot fluffyness makes since but seriously skirt
accually, the little "puffs" at the end of the shoes on the greek uniform were used to hide a nail or a small blade
yes
Indeed, last resort tactic kind of thing
PANTELIS21 21 Hm, may I ask why?
all2forme bc you are making fun of the Greece army
PANTELIS21 21 well, I am not, I am just saying a small fact about the uniform, accualy, you can say I am defending it
The French foreign legion is one of the most feared group of fighters in the entire world.
Do you know why??....
No Frenchmen are in it.
But now only french citizens can in
XD
XD
U are so pathetic

I have some WWII french rifles for sale. They were never fired and only dropped once.

Which American military uniform though?

Jesus Christ the border closing ceremony looked like Monty python's ministry of silly walks
Alex Everett-last I bet you were expecting more likes.
Alex Everett-last that's not the only thing bout the border... I don't know about the Indians but during the ceremony the observers from the stands yell Pakistan Zindabad at the top of their lungs.. The Pak Rangers (border guards) actually try get people to chant rather yell cause it gets do loud they can't listen to their radios.. It amazing
how
I've seen the royal Guards when I lived in the Uk. And I've seen those Greek ones can't forget them
I saw them at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Recommend going there. Their marches are really cool
MrTagnan I
I am from the United Kingdom too mrTagnan, and I live in Bognor Regis.
THIS IS CIVILIZATION IDIOT ENGLISH LEARN HISTORY
I believe the QUEENS Guards wear the bear skin hat is a tradition. The British soilders took the hats from Napoleon's Old Guard and adopted it into their ceremonial uniform.
i thought it was the Grenedier Guards and the coldstream guards, but ive never been completely sure on that
+Ted Copp Many different infantry regiments wear the Bear Skin but only on Guard duty.
+The Nights King Napoleon stole it from the grenadier guards, WHO had the bearskin on their head during combat.
+Ted Copp Here's a list, Coldstream, Grenadier, scots, Irish, north Irish, and waleish
Years ago when the grenadiers and the Coldstreams fought in bear skins the reason they'd wear it was when a cavalryman with a sword came at them they'd have the bear skin just over there eyes so when they charged at them they would cut the bear skin instead of the head
Fun fact(s) - The Bearskin was taken off of the French Grenadier's at the Battle of Waterloo. The bearskin is designed to make your head look bigger, and to make an enemy lancer aim for the upper part of the head, therefore protecting the soldier. The curb chain, or chin strap, is to protect the face from a cut from a sabre. Thanks for the videos! Keep going!
Hell , id run around as a Royal Guard in BF4
At least Greek people like and obey their traditions
and so do the British, and the Swiss Guard, and the French Foreign Legion
About the French Foreign Legion uniform, that was the ceremonial uniform of their engineers. Back in the day, they were used to destroy the ramparts with their axes (which they carry in the photo). The leather apron was part of the uniform, to "protect" their clothes from becoming too bloody (blood splatter from hacking their enemies to bits together with the ramparts).
+djaihunter Wow. That's interesting.
+Neebs Gaming They are called Sappers and were a common part of a lot of armies until WW1 (and still are in some, like swiss). The purpose of the leather is not blood-related but a generall protection against rampart-shrapnells (like wood and stone) when they tear it down.
djaihunter m
@Neebs Hello im from greece the uniform that represent us i know its funny BUT thats how we defeat turkey and how we fight in 1821 and if you guys search the story of greece you will stay with the mouth open....just the condition and how tough were we and still until now.....and just let ou know we were less than the half of the turkey army.....our leader KOLOKOTRONIS and our man free our country
ΣΕ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ!!!!
calm down,komsi.

I play on console, and trust me i'm a little worse than your average joe, but i can freely say i play better than them reaction wise
The British Guards took the Bearskin hat design from Napoleon's Old Guard, sort of like a "haha look at us, not so special now!" thing, and sort of as a sign of honour, as the old guard were the elite, so to wear their iconic hat was a great honour.
+KillYourself 420Blaze I was answering it so if anyone did, they could see. Someone is bound too, maybe you don't, great, don't read the comment. Ta'ra.
+Calum Champion thanks for the information dude not everyone is against learning new things like our friend here :)
They adopted it after the Coldstream guards defeated them. All five Guard regiments use them but with different plumes, excluding the Scots Guards.
CallOnTheCountryBalls they took the hat from the guy that invaded them. So patriotic
Europeans: "American's can never take jokes, they get offended by everything!"
Europeans in this comment section: "Oh my god you don't have the right to say something so offensive about the uniforms of other countries, you have no culture!!!"
Korvux VH I know it's FUCKING HILARIOUS
Korvux VH All of my European friends talk about how chill the Americans are though
Communism Lol What friends?
reggie fils aime Friends. You want me to tell you all of my friends' names or something? You don't know anything about me so you can't come to a conclusion that I have no friends anyway.
Communism Lol Nah, I can just tell over your shit video
The best looking military uniforms?
Multicam.
That is all.
+dicksonmeister1992 usmc dress blues. that is all
+Thetheinsaineone good call, they are pretty sharp. Definitely beats the Australian Army polys, apart from the headdress.
+Buzzcut I assume you're talking service uniforms, most combat uniforms these days are relatively the same besides the camo and pattern. I'm in the USAF, I like our dress blues, but they're a bit business-y for my taste. Overall id say the Marines have the best looking service uniform.
well I was talking service uniforms because that was what the video was about. if it was about combat uniforms north korea would be at the pinnacle of the list among some European countries. But holy fuck do I hate putting on my blues. Fuck shirt stays and the neck clasp. Most annoying shit ever
You may think our big furry hats are silly looking and impractical at first glance but it is actually a standard issue B.M.S.K ( British Man Survival Kit) which contains all the necessary requirements for the average British Man to survive a long period of time such as
-one teapot
-four cups and saucers
-three packs of PG tips
-two packs of bourbon biscuits
-two packs of crumpets
-one jar of butter and or strawberry jam
-one smoking pipe
-500g of tobacco
-one box of matches
-two bacon sandwiches
doesn't seem so impractical now does it?

LOLOLOLLOLIOOOLLOOLOOLOLOLLOLOLOLOOLOLOOLLLLOOLOOLOOOOOLO
Nice one. Loved it, lol
The Greek uniform is the military one, its a traditional uniform
Neebs, the French Uniform you show is from the Sappeurs, or the sappers/pioneers/engineers. the axes were used to clear areas from debris and trees. fun fact: Napoleon allowed them as the only unit in his army to wear beards as part of the grooming standards, as a reward for their courage and enormous casualty rate.
The Swiss Guard were renowned and professional mercenaries during the high medieval and Renaissance ages (and beyond). The French Foreign Legion are a professional and superior fighting force. The FFL accept something like one out of every nine applicants, and even more drop out of the basic training programs.
You guys really need to do some research or have some historical insight before judging a military fighting unit.
Ahahahaha! Loving your reactions to the Royal Guard uniform. As an ex Royal Guard myself, 15 years I served I found it quit amusing lol. The chin strap as you's call it is actually called a curb chain, it's purpose was to protect your face from sword attacks to a certain extend.
But please don't be mistaken! The Royal Guards aren't just your tourist attraction, they are full on front line infantry soldiers with hundreds of years of fighting history behind them.
Keep up the good work lads and you's defo get a like from me lol.
That's pretty awesome Dan. Did you ever have to scream at people like Neebs said?
Dan, tell them about the different regiments of guards and how you tell them apart (tunic buttons).
I do love seeing the blues and royals on prade. And they have some of the best cavalry hoses in the world.
+dan8404 pretty unique perspective. thanks for chiming in :D
+SvenTviking. Sure thing, there's 5 different regiments to the foot guards but we all do the same thing, the Grenadier guards, the Coldstream guards, the Scots guards (me!), the Irish guards and the Welsh guards. The buttons on the tunics (the red jackets for those not sure) are placed in seniority. As the grenadier guards are the senior there's are in 1s, the Coldstream will be closer together in 2s, the scots in 3s etc etc. If you's look Back on the video at the start the guardsmen is a scots guardsmen and you'll see that his buttons are spaced out in 3s.
I know I few people out there are probably thinking "well he could of just googled this info and he's just a wannabe, but if you's want to see me in my full glory kit check out Margaret thatchers funeral a couple of years ago and you'll see me carrying her coffin.
personally i would were the royal guards uniform looks less silly than the others and thats not just cos i am British well maybe a bit :D i feel sorry for them, its a great honour to guard the palace and its hard enough for them having to stand perfectly still or matching up and down for hours but stupid tourists have to try their best to be assholes to them, showing them no respect. they are fighting solders too you know thier not just for show
Too right.
yeah but the bear skin headdress is the only wired part the rest of these uniforms are ridiculous apart form the Russians
+legocobragunsmith The hat is funny as fuck though.
That's right, They are from the Guards regiments, serving soldiers from the British Army who toured Iraq and Afghanistan for the most part, (not trumped-up palace security) and the "silly hat" is real bear skin, which I believe dates from around the mid 1800s, when it was all the rage among elite European units.
John G What it's made of doesn't make it any less silly.
Got here early neebs! How's your day goin?
Senpai noticed you ^~^

I wish you guys still did these kinds of videos. I enjoy seeing these new things and I enjoy your chemistry, feels like a casual, fun bunch of dudes.
Most recruits from the French Foreign Legion are mainly prisoners from other countries who want to get pardoned.
A friend of a friend tagged along with two of his buddies when they ran because they were going to get prison sentances for burglary. He had'nt commited any crime but was a hippie stoner in bad condition. They went to Marsaille to the Legion recruitment base. In the end, the two bad boys didn't join up, but Jem did. 25 years later, he's a senior NCO with decorations and French citizenship. Even fixed up his bad teeth!
+Assassino275
That's a common myth.
"* A criminal history may be overlooked if the offenses are minor but there are no guarantees"
+Assassino275 It was like that up to the 80s or so, but not anymore, now you actually mustn't have any serious crimes on record to be able to join.
+Assassino275 Practice of not handing over criminals died with last former SS sent to retirement house. Majority of Legionnairees are French, who want something more "serious" than service in regular army. Others are mostly recruits from Eastern Europe and former French colonies who would join their own country armed force, if they didn't pay peanuts.
Bullshit! Criminal background is checked, complete interigation to check motivitions! Minor problems aren't an issue though!
Fun facts: The French Foreign Legion was created after the Napoleonic Wars. After Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo by the Seventh Coalition, France's European empire collapsed. However, the country was now filled with non-French citizenswho had come to France to benefit from its previously strong position, but were now out of jobs due to France's removal from power. In response, the new French government created the French Foreign Legion to provide the non-French citizens with a job. In exchange for service, Legionnaires would receive French citizenship. The FFL continues to operate across the world to this day and is infamous for its extremely tough training methods. The FFL has the highest number of training casualties of any standng army in the world and can make other military groups with tough training methods such as the Russian Spetsnaz and Doraleous' USMC cry like newborn infants.
Ahem...Ghurkas? Basically the elite British army unit of Nepalese men (and I think maybe women but not sure) that is basically the British equivalent to the French foreign legion
charles playgame actual training.
Epsiloot8524 _ The Gurkhas are pretty much all Nepalese though. The FFL don't have to be French.
+Curtis Stokman I have seen that Bear Grylls video where he joins the FFL, they are intense.
+Curtis Stokman Depends on which marines.
the most bizarre military uniforms in bf4 is the USMC character models. since when does marines use opscore fast helmets and Crye precision JPC's:P could at least call the marines "marine raiders" to make it more trustworthy

DUDE THE GREEK MYLITARE SUIT ITS AWSOME
I just love how in the painting depicting the First Balkan War Bulgaria, Montenegro and Serbia look pretty normal, and then the Greek guy looks like a pirate.
Fun Fact about the Queen's Guard's hats:
Apparently the reason the strap doesn't get worn under the chin is because enemy cavalry would aim for the hat with their sabres. If a cavalry soldier were to hit the hat while galloping past, then the chin strap could break the English soldier's neck, or even cause decapitation, so they changed it to a nose strap so it would just slide off.
Those Greek soldiers are called Tsoliades !!( Τσολιαδες in Greek)
Evzones
the greek ones had a hidden blade inside their goofy shoes :)
Θείος Άρνολντ What about their shoes is so "goofy?" Do you mean "puffy?"
No its fucking goofy I don't see why it's so hard for people to admit that
Yes because they are come from assassins creed
I'm greek and just btw the evzone have knives hidden in their shoes and I wish I could be one
I'm a Greek Australian myself and to this day I still find the Greek Ceremonial outfit ridiculous but I think it's still in use to commemorate The Greek Independence back in 1821.
Simon was right about the Queens Guards. It's to make them look taller and more intimidating because they're the ones who fight hand to hand. The hats are called Bearskins btw.... 👍
Fun Fact: The hat in the Queen's Guard uniform is actually bear fur.
Another Fun Fact: People started a petition to change the bear fur to synthetic fur instead.
Nicholas Osborne that would ruin the tradition
British Royal Gaurdsmen hats are called bear skins. They were originally actual bear skins. This showed their power and experience as soldiers. All Gaurdsmen are veterans I believe, so the bear skin is a representation of this skill.
I think.
Traditionally the bearskin was designed so that enemy with pikes and bayonets and spears could not identify where there head was. Also they are all active soldiers in such regiments as the grenadiers, Coldstream, Welsh, Irish and Scot guards
the royal guards are hand picked from all branches of the English military but usually it's royal marines or SAS that are picked
nope, not really. First, they are called "bear skin caps" because, well, that's what they are made of.
They were not designed to confude anybody as to where the head is. You can clearly see where it is, that makes no sense.
These Bearskin caps are an evolution from grenadier caps.
When hand grenades were introduced in the 17th C, only the tallest and strongest soldiers were selected to be grenadiers, as they could throw grenades farther. To throw grenades, you need to sling your musket, though. The eras wide brimmed hats made slinging a musket difficult, so the grenadiers received soft cloth caps. Over time, fueled by the desire to show their elite status more, these caps were increasingly stiffened, embroidered and decorated. In parralell, handgrenades were reckognised as being as dangerous to your own troops as to the enemies, and abandonned. But grenadiers were stills trong and tall and had a reputation. with the need to sling the firearm gone, the caps grew more, to add to the imposing height of the soldier. Some countries, rather than embroidering the caps, covered them with bearskin. and the british guards, after defeating the french guards, were allowed to adopt their specific shape of cap.
+Stuff 96 Royal marine/SAS Royal guards?? I hope you're joking, the Royal guards are from various army regiments like the grenadier guards or Coldstream Guards
looks like India and Pakistan soldiers graduated from the ministry of silly walks
ROFL
it's not like a silly walk,
But more of a bizarre posture that represents aggression.
It's honestly fun to watch, (knowing generally that India and Pak are defiantly rival siblings) It's a border ceremony where to polar opposite sides come face to face, keeping in mind they can't physically attack, hence they show their rage instead.
@@wahajeditz3602 why so triggered? Can't handle any jokes? 😂😂
interesting fact about our (french) foreign legion is that those guys are known to be brutal. like, hardcore training and involvement is serious close quarter battles a bit everywhere they could be needed. there are over 36different nationalities enlisted, most of the soldiers in the Foreign legion are germans, italians and belgians, and french (yes you can enlist as french yourself)
I'm a recruit in the British Army, Princess of Wales Royal Regiment and the chinstrap of the Queens guards are to aid agains swords slashing across the face, dating back to prior aged combat, as so do the Royal Household Cavalry have the same, as well as scales on their body Armour to wedge a sword into once being struck... Good video!
the evzones is the uniform the greek army used back at 1821 at the revolution against the turks, nowadays is the presidential guard, but has a lot of honor and blood behind it shed on this world, so show some respect please ...
Only way French can win is if they have other country's fight for them

This was the first video I watched on Neebs Gaming, two years went by so fast.
I believe the showed some Sapper units of the French Foreign Legion, that would explain the Axe and apron. Think of it, you are a Napoleonic era sapper, digging trenches and shit. You dont want mud all over your sexy uniform, so you wear an apron.
I know it isnt the Napoleonic era anymore, but most modern dress uniforms are stylised off of them.
stop talking of Napoleonic times...Legion was created in 1831 and Napoleon was dead for about 10 years!!!
I want that British uniform in game
Those French foreign legion guys shown here are the Engineers. The axe and apron kit is ceremonial and dates back to the times of Napoleon. Those engineers also had to wear beards. also the shoulder worn "epaulettes" date back to the 1800's
Le Sapeurs.
+Gian Santiago
Indeed. I've done a lot of Napoleonic reenactment, mainly as Dutch -French Cuirasier. Sappeurs look great.
Love them, too bad I cant grow a beard!
Guys, when you speak about Napoleon, be careful, it was Napoleon III, mid 19th century
I can't express how much this channel makes me happy lol ....I love this channel
Most of these are what the traditional uniforms that have been used for hundreds of years still great vid
the swiss guard is only that for the pope the Military is a little bit more serious
Not gonna lie but great click bait guys, and it's called a bear skin, it's worn but us because we defeated napoleons old guard at Waterloo so it's our battle honour, it also is meant to intimate, originally the bear skin confused cavalry who found it hard to judge where the soldiers head actually was
Aye, useful against lancers. RIP Boney, when the cold streamers turned up, your elite buggered off. I like the plumes, though. I can identify the different guard units by the buttons on their tunic and plumes. That was irrelevant and so is this.
Wheres the clickbait????
QualityKid The title means it is uniforms IN battlefield 4, not that the game play is BF4, while Americans talk about uniforms from different countries.
Moist Skin uh no... it says BF4 because that is the gameplay behind it. Youll notice thats what they do in all of their videos.
QualityKid Ph mu fucking god. NOOOO, it says BF4 suggesting, it means uniforms in the game itself.
ye laugh at uniforms without doing any research? 😂
"CHK CHK CHK CHK, STEP AWAY FROM THUH QEEUNZ STUFF!" Lost it, rest of the video never gave me a chance to recover.

Some parts of the greek evzones uniforms date back before bysantine empire
@SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL FOR NO REASON προδοθηκαμε εσχατως
Those guard hats are a sign of virtue. During the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's Old Guard, which wore those hats as part of the uniform, charged towards the Black Watch (an elite Scottish unit) and a regiment of Coldstream Guards. The French were routed and the guards picked up the fur hats as trophies. They've been wearing them since.
Im Greek but I am laughing my ass off with the Evzones reaction
Why do you have a chin strap if it's in your mouth?
Maybe it has flavor. That part had me dead
I am gr and i wanna to note something for you all uniforms but and for me some uniforms was strange but when you react like this cause you see that guys like gays or clowns etc. that is no very kind that uniforms are traditional for one reason all uniforms for me was fine and also the Gr uniform has a meaning
Red:the blood from our heroes Black:the sadness we had in Ottomans/Turks and the White:the hope we had for a better future and i think and other uniforms have a meaning or for a historical reason exist
The photo you used for the Legion is a picture of the Pioneers. They are the sappers. That apron was used by most nation's sappers because of the danger of flying shrapnel. Sappers are used to Sap enemy defenses (ie dig under walls and place explosives). These days its just tradition; a reminder of their heritage.
As far as the Swiss Guard. That was the style at the time they were commissioned to guard the Vatican.
The british Bearskin hats were similarly stiled to those of the French Old Guard and were used as a sign that they defeated the French during the Napoleonic Wars.
OMOH is Russia's equivalent to Americas SWAT.
yep i think
You dare insult the greek guards the crashed the italians and freed us from the turks they are the most organised unit , it is tradition this uniform is our past present and future . How dare you

You probably find a lot of things offensive don't you.
Fag3Fag3Productions eye nose engrish oo kay.
The reason for the "capes" and beards is because that picture shows an element of pioneers who, in days gone by used to be hired civilian blacksmiths and the beards helped protect their mouth and chin, and the capes helped their outfit not catch on fire.
These were the days...Old Neebs Gaming at its best, i miss these days...
You know, just because it's different doesn't mean it's "stupid" or "useless". Especially when you guys try to say some of the uniforms are "gay". Okay, let's look at 'MURICAS beautiful uniforms. We have Marines/Navy formal uniforms that serve little to no tactical purposes. Then, we have the digital UCP uniforms with are just god awful. Even the desert ones don't provide any actual camouflage. The only useful uniforms that the United States have are the BDU and Ghillie lines. You guys also forget that some of these uniforms look exactly like the ones that we had used during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Would you crack jokes at those uniforms? No, you wouldn't dare, cause that's "unpatriotic". Don't bash on things you can't comprehend.
You are right
Greece and Scotland are the only European countries that have this ending (kilt and foustanela)
It's not nice when people say that they wear skirts (or that they are gay and like girly things), because they have no idea about the other traditions
Oh fuck off, already

The bearskin hat that the 5 guard regiments wear originate from Waterloo where they were stolen from corpses of the French Old Guard as trophies. The purpose of the height is so people can’t see where the top of your head is, this is mainly so cavalry couldn’t kill you in one swing. The “chin strap” is also cavalry sabre protection as it’s basically a strip of chain mail stopping your jaw and cheeks getting hacked off.
guards 'hats' from what i remember is to do with numbers, when trying to get an accurate number of your British enemies at a distance the bearskins would all merge together, making the rows of soldiers they used at the time harder to calculate as they would blend together
the foreign legion is also pretty elite. they're badasses.
Never mess with the Greek Evzone.Last thing you wanna do.
0:49 that would be so funny if that was actually the gaurds voice
Hey Neebs... Dip dip potato chip, dip dip potato chip, dip dip potato chip! DIP DIP PA CHIP!!! *RUNS*
I like how most of these attires are ceremonial. I think when combat happens, these soldiers are assigned more appropriate combat dress (if they are relegated to fight instead of ceremonial duties like marching and changing of the guard).
Fun fact 1#: The big hats the British Royal Guard (also known as 'Foot Guards') wear are called "Bearskin caps". Which the British took from Napoleons Imperial Guard after they crushed them at Waterloo.
Fun fact 2#: The chin strap on the bearskin cap was used to block hits from Cavalrymen's sabres (swords) and to keep the bearskin cap in place so it doesn't fall off during battle.
The casual Fridays pic was some guy hastily donning armor during a surprise attack. Dude just had woken up to gunfire.
I think these guys are great. I can relate to them so much. Just a group of friends playing games and drinking beers who really doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks
this vid is one of my favorite vids cause its my first neebs video
I love it when neebs screams
The reason why the queens guards wear those hats is because when battles were fought on horse back and with swords the hats made the soldier's heads look bigger and when the enemy tried striking the head, they would hit the top of the hat mistaking it for part of the head.
The Spanish Legion really uses that uniform, they are the best of all you have showed. Greetings from Spain!
that casual Friday thing is real they started getting attacked and he didn't wanna waste time getting dressed
0:48 nice grenadier guard impression 💂💂💂
The Spanish Foreign Legion uniform looks like something Mac from its Always Sunny in Philadelphia would want every soldier in the world to wear.
I laughed so hard, I seriously was close to needing medical attention! like, bring out the defibrillator attention!
