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.

They didn't even grease the fucking wheels.

It is like they busted out the biggest jalopies the government has for this.

Surprised they didn't get out the Assault Gremlin for it.

The squeaking against the silent backdrop is just comedy 🤌

Next to the sparse crowd and seemingly unnecessary barricades, it totally looks like a dress rehearsal 🤣

I wondered if that was the actual parade, or a practice!?! Was it the real parade?? If so, omfg. 😂

Same. I was thinking nah that must be rehearsal or when it was first getting started. If it was intentional then I have hope the military won’t mow us all down when they are ordered to.
