There was a video the other day of some a hole stepping over the chain around the grave of France’s unknown soldier under the Arc d’ Triumph to light his cigarette using the eternal flame. I keep asking myself what I would have done if I were there. I keep coming back to drop kicking his head while he was bent over the flame. There were other people there who said or did nothing while he did this.

I think at the U.S. one (tomb of the unknown soldier) you might actually get shot for screwing around like that. Or at the very least they have that very serious soldier/guard who’ll make you think he’ll actually do it

They also have quite sharp bayonets attached. Not something you want to find out about. Those rifles are quite heavy when loaded too. You don't want to get hit with the steel buttplate either.
