First time I’ve ever seen goose-stepping women. Those Nazis sure were trend-setters in the world of dictatorships, huh? What is it exactly about the goose-step that it is adopted by evil regimes....Cuba, Iran, Libia, etc.?

I was reading about this not that long ago. There are other militaries including the Greeks and Russians and Chileans that do it too. It requires greater discipline and drilling than regular marching, and makes an impressive slapping noise. I think it predates the Nazis and goes back to the Prussians of Bismarck's day.

Let's see...

Ah. Here it is.

The goofier an army marches is in direct proportion as to how quick it's gets it's a$$ kicked ....
