In my experience most soldiers would alter their movement around Reveille and Retreat\To the Colors.
"Hey Joe, let's go to the mess hall."
"Yeah OK, but lets wait 15 minutes so we don't get stuck outside during retreat."
What do you think happens when a bunch of guys are standing 15 feet from the barracks door and retreat starts? They scramble like cockroaches when the lights are turned on.
I'm less offended by CK's actions than the actions of Joe Blow in the stands who can't be bothered to remove his hat or shut his ****ing mouth for a few minutes while the anthem play. Before 9/11 it was really bad, atleast everybody stands now.
