In reply to the discussion: from the House Impeachment memo -- terrifying evidence [View all]BobTheSubgenius
(12,245 posts)22. "Bring the line forward!" What??? That alone seems conclusive of this being rehearsed.
If you were randomly part of the crowd there, or part of a small group from Elk Groin WY, how would you possibly know exactly what "Bring the line forward" means?
Obviously that it's in English with correct syntax means we all know the literal definition, but what specifically is the order being given in this context? "Am I part of this line?" "Should I be joining the line, and if so, where are they?" "Forward to where?"
Unless they've been drilled specifically for this, even trained soldiers would not necessarily know exactly what to do.
