What's the problem, they are not (I assume) bringing live ammo in the guns.

I missed the start of this - some numpty is complaining that the ARMy won't be ARMed when commemorating the Rising? (Hint to the caller - look at the name, doofus).

From Blackadder:

He was hailed as the 'Hero of Mboto Gorge' in 1890, where he had faced "ten thousand Watutsi warriors armed to the teeth with kiwi fruit and dry guava halves". He even saved the life of Douglas Haig (later Field Marshal Douglas Haig) when he was nearly killed by a pygmy woman with a sharpened mango

In the interests of fairness and equality, yes.
After all, it's nothing short of disgraceful discrimination to disguise yourself from the enemy and deprive him of a chance to shoot you in a fair, equitable and accessible manner.
