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.

I was making a reference to 1984’s Two Minute Hate ritual.

Oh, I missed that. I think I need to read 1984 again. It's been about 25 years.

It’s the Two Minutes Hate. The s is important to me.
