    They didn’t clap because the were ordered to come to attention. When you’re at attention you don’t move, you don’t clap, you just stand still. From the video, you can actually see that they do applaud once they’re released from attention.

    I hate the DUI-hire, but let’s not cling to false narratives the way the MAGA crowd does.

      Yeah but do you think the fat man or little man understand that or do they think it was an insult ?

        I think someone explained it to them, but they still probably felt sad. It’s fat man and little boy though, named because they bombed so hard.
