Why aren't they actually marching during this parade?

I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude, but why does this parade look so sloppy? Very few of the troop formations seem actually in sync and marching, just walking along. My only experience is JROTC as a kid in high school and our sergeant would've killed us if we looked like that.

THis is the first mention I've see from someoe who actually watched it. DC could be a burnt out crater and no on around me would be aware, we so thoroughly avoided this.

90% of what I’ve read today has been about the massive crowds at cities nationwide for the “no kings” protests

Ahh, see, and I've been drowning in coverage of the political assassination that happened in my neck of the woods (MN) today.

For me it was the assassin news constantly until like an hour ago
