Arlington Color Guard Has to Guard Against "Cup Checks?"

[Havoc13]

I'm sure many of will be outraged, as we were, to learn that America's "Guard of Honor" now has to guard themselves... from the "cup check."

(ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, WASHINGTON) Forget the “knockout game,” restless urban youths are playing a far more heinous game these days: the “cup check.”

Similar to the knockout game, where teenagers randomly assault passersby and try to render them unconscious with a single blow, the cup check can similarly cause severe pain, loss of conscioulsness, and in some cases, permanent physical damage or even death. The difference is the part of the body to which the blow is delivered. In the knockout game, the blow is usually administered to the jaw or the brachial artery. In the cup check, the blow lands a little further south.
