Palace Guards. How are they trained (and agree) to stand still for hours? How do they endure it?

Question

And also why do they still exist? Can’t a regular soldier do the same thing?

Answer 1

I don’t know how they train not to break demeanor, but if the exam is anything like [the one they use in the US](https://youtu.be/9AqqmjGzeTQ?feature=shared) then I can only assume the training involves surgical removal of one’s sense of humor. I can’t even watch other people take that test.
