Shout out to DPRK for knowing how to have a fucking military parade. They made it look so easy the whole world forgot how to do it 
I don't think I've seen dprk ones but the Chinese ones are legitimately awesome to watch
they cant march at all lmao
Yup. Drill and Ceremony isn't really practiced once you get to your unit. It's widely viewed as a silly waste of time. For change of command ceremonies we would get like two or three days of practice, and most of that was standing around in the heat praying someone locks their knees and passes out. Judging from r/army posts, a lot of guys had just the three days of practice. Add in how no one wants to be at a dog and pony show, and you get very sloppy marching. Sucks2suck tbh, they deserve worse.

They're going to lose their minds saying that marching is gay DEI so of course they can't do it
You know if we march in sync that's ga— I mean, woke.
What if we marched together. Just kidding, unless. 
choreography is something Theater Folk do

should fire all of them for this kind of pathetic display
they march like they don't want to be there
80 degrees with a dew point of 75
Maximum swamp ass conditions.
They're drinking their air.
Damn, I thought Trump was supposed to have drained that thing.
the one time a wet bulb environment would be funny
The beta slouch walk vs the alpha juche goose step
Worse than the fucking boy scouts lmao

why are they doing the America 250 years thing a year early? its 1776 not 1775. I legitimately don't understand.
It's the Army's 250 b-day. Officially - it's a parade for the Army. Officially.
I’d say it’s less of a parade, and more of a collective walking event.
I just watched a minute or two here and a minute or two there and I'm no marching expert but that was some very sloppy shit. Some of it was surely a lack of practice. But I think some of it was passive aggressive too. Trump hijacked their day in away soldiers who aren't chuds were probably angry about.
Shit was (is?) boring as hell, it’s legitimately more entertaining to watch the washing machine go swish.
I don’t imagine the birthday boy is too happy about his special day getting overshadowed by Tel-Aviv eating shit, those dems in Minnesota getting clapped, and the lib protests.
Or the fact that his toy soldiers can’t march. Hopefully we get another “losers and suckers” quote out of this.

Look at that crowd! It's like they are there to see a reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd cover band made up of 70 year-olds.
Definitely seen bigger crowds at the fairgrounds watching some washed up boomer

Damn that image looks like shit lmao
The entire thing is so weird to me - even for Trump. The two tanks in front of the stage are a chef's kiss. They don't look Strong and Powerful. They look like movie props made out of wood and plastic.
Ngl it gives me very large "county fair" vibes
BREAKING
I finally saw a shot of a "crowd" - https://hexbear.net/comment/6242195

One of my favorite movies facts about “Lord of War” was that it was cheaper to buy Libyan tanks than build prob ones.
On Reddit - somebody said the same thing about the AKs.

much like every government-organized parade i've ever seen, this was attended entirely by the people who were in its family and like 5 local weirdos
lmao the soldiers can't march for shit, literal duck walking and there's hardly any crowds what a joke
Also who decided to paint the tanks a dead green color, it looks like fake shit
I watched a different parade today.
That marching has got to be the most pathetic shit I’ve ever seen in my life
All the shots were like the thumb. Little or no panning.

Trump must be pissed. Is anybody there?
Fox is doing camera tricks. There are rapid cuts. And the next cut starts with a zoom in so you see people on the street but only for a sec. I'm never seen cut after zoom in after cut after zoom in before.
I'm not sure if it's the same feed you were watching, but my quick look at this feed didn't show many people in DC at all.
By pure chance I started watching just a few minutes before Trump himself came to the stage. The footage was so controlled - it felt like I was watching a cheapie made-for-tv movie or something and for some reason they had to scrap the CGI crowd stuff they were going to use as quickie filler. There was no no crowd footage at all. The Hail to the Chief played, the president plus his wife came out, and they sat down. And that was it. On top of that - were the two tanks in front of the stage. Z-level set design.
LOW ENERGY. SAD! 
I went and watched the Moscow parade they had not too long ago for comparison and USians cannot march to save their lives. It is genuinely pathetic.
Honestly the only people in the U.S. who can march are in marching bands. And they are pretty damn good and competitive about it in some areas. They genuinely would have been better off getting some Midwestern high schoolers and college students rifles and have them do the parade.
Don't US chuds still love this guy? Why aren't there crowds?
D.C. is like 99% lib. Maryland and northern VA also very lib. nobody else wants to drive into the Beltway from the rural areas 60-70 miles away
