Title: That Army parade was a disappointment
Post by: ProudVirgin69 on June 15, 2025, 07:57:04 AM: No dress uniforms, no marching in step. Just a bunch of grunts in BDUs lazily strolling down the boulevard.

Contrast that with, say China:

Now THATS a proper military parade.

The Gordons were excellent
I think the videos above are not a fair comparision because it looked liked a "casual" parade.

The goose-step style of marching is also brutal on the joints.

It's not the marching parade which does the damage but the months of practising for that day.

If he wanted to do something for the troops he could have spent the money on actual vets.

Agreed. I watched and was very surprised how good it was.
