No, no! You've got it all wrong! It was at the Battle of Caerbannog 1209!

There he is!
Where?
There!
What, behind the rabbit?
It is the rabbit.
You silly sod!
What?
You got us all worked up!
Well, that's no ordinary rabbit!
Ohh.
That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
You (jerk)! I soiled my armour I was so scared!
Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Get stuffed!
He'll do you up a treat, mate.
Oh, yeah?
You mangy Scots git!

... and so on...

The people of Texas did not think so - and I tend to agree with them. Its p1ssing on a War Memorial.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.

No they are not trained to ignore such, they are just ordered to ignore it, and while it shouldn't have happened, we have no idea how much he had already put up with. The laughter wouldn't have helped either. I enjoyed seeing the kid getting his come-uppance.

I know nothing about the area, so someone correct me if I'm wrong on this. The area where this happened is probably covered by surveillance cameras. Therefore the Guards superiors would have an unbiased view of not only the incident, but the events leading up to it.

I, equally, don't know for sure, but I would think thay are in place. However, the cameras are run by the local constabulary. Whether the military authorities have access to that footage or not, is a different matter.
I would suspect that they would not, bureaucracies being what they are.

I wouldn't advise saying that in a group of Texans, mate. I doubt you'd like their reaction.
