Relevant, from 2017. (And every word could have been written in 2025)

I just feel bad editing wording after receiving a reply so I wanted to mention it.

Only the parts they agree with.

octopus_ink@slrpnk.netto politics @lemmy.world•Trump coveted a military spectacle but his parade proved underwhelming: ‘Just kind of lame’English0·6 days agoMaybe they were just way more lax about it in the Navy. When it came to marching, in my experience they barely gave a fuck.
I was also USN, but it occurred to me after reading your post that maybe (I’m effing old) they do care about it less now than when I was in. To be clear - I too never marched after boot camp and A school, but if I’d been ordered to go be in a parade I’m sure we could have pulled it off.
No worries dude, it doesn’t feel like you’re jumping on me.
Thanks! 🙂 And do you still cringe when you hear someone say “Hey Shipmate?” It’s been decades and I do!
octopus_ink@slrpnk.netto politics @lemmy.world•Trump coveted a military spectacle but his parade proved underwhelming: ‘Just kind of lame’English0·6 days agoI know this from experience. Perfect formation marching must be drilled constantly. The US military does not waste its time with it because it is useless beyond Basic Training.
As do I. There is no active duty enlisted person not capable of marching down a street in step in a reasonably square block. (And I would assume this also true for officers but I wouldn’t know that.)
We’re not talking about doing a halftime show in a marching band. It takes an hour of instruction and practice to do it reasonably well.
Sorry if it seems like I’m jumping on you, but I’m stunned at the number of folks scratching their heads like they aren’t sure if the soldiers were intentionally out of step or not, and you are just the first one I’ve replied to. They were intentionally out of step.

If Trump doesn’t believe her, then even from his demented perspective she shouldn’t have the job. So which is it Donald? Does she ah, merit her position of authority and influence, or does she not?
