Absolutely. I've seen some peeps do this in my time.

Were you ever trained to stop what you were doing at 5:00 or 5:30 or when someone died, or for whatever, no matter what it was, when the trumpet sound came on? Then stood there facing the best guestimation of where the speaker is with your hand over your heart for the duration? I'm a civilian though. I have never had to go out of my way....I was never trained to do the same shit over and over again....and take it seriously. What the hell would I know about base movie theaters in remote locations?

What I got out of it? Nothing has changed... Militants are still...militant.

I have never seen a base movie theater react with any disrespect or disregard for the National Anthem. People that serve take it seriously, especially anyone of any rank of consequence. And their families.

This is a conditioned response. I am no longer Pavlov's dog and can choose for myself now, what I am giving my respect to, and my moments of silence.
