Looks more like a Sunday stroll to the chow hall than a parade.

No doubt the US Army is professional and excels at what it does, but this was poorly executed. If you’re going to put on a show, do it right - otherwise, maybe leave the theatrics to autocrats and commies

Yeah, did they ever learn how to march? Also, do US soldiers have parade uniforms?

Russia's parade and it's army are a joke right now, but they at least can all march in line.

Even our tiny Luxembourg with an army shy of 1000 soldiers can do this better, as we'll show next week.

I'm taking it as a good sign, Lol. I don't think it was a case of the troops being poorly trained, a lack of discipline or not knowing how to march properly, I think it was more a case of them really not wanting to be there so they put in the absolute minimum amount of effort, I'll take that as a sign that a lot of them aren't impressed by Trump.

Other nations that pull off these 'amazing' displays like North Korea or Russia live in a dictatorship where everyone lives in fear of screwing up. Others that pull it off have highly motivated troops that love their country so they put the effort in. Now maybe American troops still do, but we can't see that, because Trump turned the celebration all about him, he made it into a birthday party all for himself, I could see that pissing a lot of troops off and them thinking "why should we bother putting effort in when he has taken our celebration and made it all about him"

So we end up with this display.
