Looks like a cross of the UK slope using the US rifle. It lies on the side...

Seems a bit comical to me

Although one tries to imagine it as the "Greek equivalent of the Kilt", those soldiers look far too much like they are dressed in a skirt and stockings and if that's not enough there's what looks like bedroom slippers.

ohahuggh...just threw up a little looking at that. Let me fix this with elegance and perfection for anyone else that comes by...

no bias here at all

Well, I sure preferred to deal with them than the Turks.

Guys, read up about the drill. It looks really funny to people used to other kinds of drill, but the origin is well worth while reading up. We could easily remark about the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier in other countries due to our ignorance, without caring about the unknown soldier or why the guard is like that.
