Back in my days in the U.S. Army (1955 - 1958), at exactly 5PM while the Post flag was being lowered for the day, all of us, still out doors, would stand at attention, facing the flag and salute until the music stopped. Wonder what this guy would have done had he been in the Service at that particular time.
Bob, you're talking about Revile and Retreat... the raising and lowering of the flag on military bases- it's still done today (and I find myself still, after 1 year of being out of the Army, listening intently if I'm outside at 1700). I'm willing to bet he'd just sit there and wonder why music is being played. But I think they check for testicles on men and a spine on everyone who joins the military, so Oblowme is not eligible for service.
