I despised drill and ceremony. Standing in the heat and humidity, waiting to move and watching soldiers drop because of heat stroke. Never lock your damn knees.

I'm sure they felt very proud being brought on and ordered to march on display like trained monkeys.

I thought it was in unison but it certainly didn't have the giant goose stepping.

Seems like the kind of thing someone who's been the president before would know. It's like draft-dodging and believing everything you see on tv are qualities of a shitty president.

They defend our nation? How, and in what ways? Bonus points if you can describe it in : current era facts, non-hegemonic, and without using the word “preemptive strike”, and with action on our soil.

Military is absurd. Ceremonial is the least destructive thing they can do I think.

You mean they spend zero time on showmanship training and thus twirling rifles serves a practical and essential combat purpose?

Somehow I doubt that someone in a professional armed forces can't fucking march. It's just left, left, left right left

If they're all really so unhappy to do this, I'm not saying they should do a coup... but I'm not not saying that, either.
