We are all human, and we all make mistakes; even if we feel ashamed, this is perfectly normal. The problem sometimes becomes more serious if there are witnesses when we make a mistake, and the more people there are, the worse it is. Just imagine this happening on a national or major level. That is precisely what happened to these soldiers, who, by misplacing their flag, made the King of Spain feel disappointed. There is no more embarrassing moment than this, and even more so because many more people, besides the King, everyone saw it on TV and Reddit.
This epic fail went viral because Redditor QuickResidentjoe shared the video on the subreddit r/SipsTea. This video occurs while soldiers raise the Spanish flag at a big event. However, while raising the flag, the soldiers forgot to secure the bottom of the flag. This caused the flag, when it was at its highest point, to not fully unfold in the air with splendor. The King of Spain looked annoyed by the position of his flag, but from afar, he couldn’t do anything else; he just gave a disappointed look.
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

Many users agreed that offending the King like that is much worse, and in the worst scenario, it was indeed getting a negative reaction from someone of nobility. And even though it is a mistake, how can you recover from something like this?
It’s that moment where he confronts the person responsible and hits them with the dreaded “I expected better from you.”

This is a devastating blow, but as humiliating as it may seem, we know that we will all forget that this ever happened in the future. In the end, this video will get lost in the far corners of the internet and may only appear sporadically in some forums. After that huge failure, who knows what the real consequences might have been, I hope the soldiers will not face too severe a punishment.
