I mean personally I think that's more likely to be the real reason – they mostly looked they just didn't give a flying fuck and didn't want to be there.
I just find these justifications of "well they're busy defending our nation so they don't learn marching" idiotic
One of the ships I was posted had to have the entire crew practice marching before a parade for freedom of the city. But we had come off of deployment not long ago.
Go to a concert and you might hear people clapping along to a song. All they have to do is meet their hands at the proper time, at speed. Some people are a half second off, and they don’t have to maintain distance, stave off boredom, or consider their stride. Humans kinda suck without practice
I find the parade itself more than idiotic. It's anti-American and counter to our very principles.
Fuck how they marched. You can have your comments but holy shit it pisses me off that you're focusing on how they marched instead of on the abject evil forcing them to do it in the first place.
