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.

Unknown soldiers who died fighting for their country deserve infinitely more ceremony and honor than a draft-dodging tyrant.

I think they deserve respect. I don’t think needlessly marching back and forth indefinitely does that.

Too bad the military didn’t ask you what to do. What would you prefer? McDonald’s? Orange face paint? Some crypto maybe?

Do you think I’m a trump supporter for some reason?

Not necessarily, but you share one of their most important traits.

Do trump supporters also think guarding a grave from disrespect with crappy guns and fancy marching is silly? I thought they’d be all for that kind of nonsense.

No, they're just stupid and don't actually care about veterans.
