Until now, Belgium had the reputation for having the world's worst military marchers. However, it now appears that the British military is in strong contention for that title. As you can see its not just that the Brits in this video are horribly out of synch while marching, they also put little to no effort in swinging their arms. It's no wonder since many of them look their would prefer to swing their arms to grab a ham sandwich. Oh, and could the Brits exhibit just a slight bit of enthusiasm in their marching? I remember as a kid seeing the British Tattoo when it came to America and was quite impressed with their precision marching. Obviously such precision marching standards has declined drastically in Britain since then.
The whole idea of marching in formation by large groups of soldiers is a bit antiquated except for discipline and cohesiveness. I would much rather have soldiers who can ruck 70 lbs of gear and a rifle for 20-30 miles in small units.
Personally, if I were a Brit concerned with national security, I would not be worrying about how this bunch marched. My concern would be the obvious bunch of misfits found in their army. They look like a bunch of wokesters that would be afraid of their own shadows.
One thing I learned the first week in basic is a good soldier is a risk taker. This concept has been reinforced my entire life. These people are not risk takers.
Put them in combat and they will surrender in short order. Competing with the Belgians in marching is not the issue. Competing with the French in how fast they can surrender would be.
Those look like air cadets, not members of the armed forces. The cadets in the UK are basically scouts that are connected to the military.
Well, at least They are a very “Diverse” gaggle, are in Tip-Top physical shape, No?
Diversity is our strength!
Tik-Tok shape perhaps. Ready take on Communist China.
(By quickly voting for their democrat socialist party line.)
Right! Stop that! It’s silly.
You ought to see the Texas A&M band when they perform a 4 way cross.
The Monty Python marchers look more healthy that the real British soldiers do!...............
IIRC, these are Air cadets (like our JROTC) parading last Remembrance Day in central London. A for effort, C for execution...
