Let's hope the majority of military think this. Has the orange monkey purged enough general yet to only leave butt kissers? We had the West Point grads while respect the office of the president, they protested the current occupant by refusing to shake his hand during the ceremony. On a different board, someone commented, isn't it customary for soldiers to look toward the commander in chief when they pass by him? If this is the case, good sign the average soldier is showing their displeasure. Well not the hand picked ones to sit behind him during that rally a few days ago and danced along with the idiotAt least one guy said there were palpable “stolen valor” vibes coming off the White House essentially co-opting this event for their parade. I wonder how many military folks think the same way.
Every time I see the ceremonial marching stuff that various national armies do on special occasions (North Koreans, Russians, Greeks...), I'm reminded of John Cleese and The Ministry Of Silly Walks. I'm sure there's a valid reason for it - disclipline, confidence, etc - but it just asks to be set to inappropriate music on Youtube.
I would not have trusted their ability to look left while walking forward. Nonzero probability of someone veering and ending up under a tank tread.Let's hope the majority of military think this.

It's a lot easier than pretending an event is something it's not so you have an excuse to be outraged. The only person your fooling is yourself, why bother?It must be tiring carrying the water all the time.

Gotta love a clown whose only contribution to any thread is about how mean liberals are and never about the subject at hand. You’d think self awareness would kick in after twenty years.Irony meter just broke for the day.
The thing is that’s all he can do. At this point I’m pretty sure he realizes Trump is bad but he can’t admit it because it’s humiliating. So his idea is to become an anti-anti Trump person where he shifts from explicitly defending Trump to attacking others for being too mean to Trump or whatever.Gotta love a clown whose only contribution to any thread is about how mean liberals are and never about the subject at hand.

I must have missed the parade they do every year for the army's birthday, must just be a coincidence it was on trump's birthday too.It's a lot easier than pretending an event is something it's not so you have an excuse to be outraged. The only person your fooling is yourself, why bother?
It was the army's birthday long before it was Trumps. I know that because I learned subtraction 60 odd years back and it still works the same today.

It's clear you are just trolling with this comment.Watched several videos, looks like a great parade. Wish I could have been there to see it in person.
Seems your forgot about that, when you said outside of a few, the military doesn't teach people how to march. Why did we learn to march in boot camp/basic training, sing cadence, etc? I suspect, even in the Navy, you needed to learn teamwork and cordination working with others,for things to run smoothly on a ship, right?At least in the navy you learn to march in boot camp and then essentially never do it again. It would have been hilarious to watch the crew of my ship try to march somewhere in formation.
I would think the whole Trump aspect, and his motives for wanting it, was a most likely a hit to moral for most military members, except for the handful of die hard Trumpers.I know a few Pentagon folks who went out to the Mall earlier in the day and to a T they all said it was hot, humid, and uncertain whether it would storm later so they all skipped the parade. They said the original events planned by the Army were great—lots of cool demos and army history on display. At least one guy said there were palpable “stolen valor” vibes coming off the White House essentially co-opting this event for their parade. I wonder how many military folks think the same way.
I don’t think I forgot anything but sure, Navy boot camp teaches marching in a very cursory way. Funny enough I was part of a ‘900’ division and they thought we would be better at marching. We were not.Seems your forgot about that, when you said outside of a few, the military doesn't teach people how to march. Why did we learn to march in boot camp/basic training, sing cadence, etc?

Too bad he didn't inspect the troops up close..
This has been known to happen..
Oh man, this is great.

I uploaded this video to youtube as a convenience to show in forums. Youtube removed it and sent me a nastygram, cause nazis :rollseyes: That was one of the major events that caused me to quit google. I don't have time for the stupid. Ironically, I did just find it on youtube, but fuck 'em. I endorse and support archive.org. They're a treasure. Youtube is a cancer.
