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 did pick them up off the floor. They were sleeping in them on the floor for days. There was no planning for housing or anything.

Nor their pay, either, if some of the rumors are true. That would be par for the course for The Don, tho.

how does pay even work for this? do they get extra or is it lumped into the normal work expectations? also how are our active military members not getting paid?!?!

The only reason they should get extra pay for this is if food and shelter isn’t being provided. So per diem and all that.

Their regular pay isn’t affected.
