I think the way they marched says more about trump than it does their ability to march. I very much doubt they forgot how to do it.
That's a comforting idea, but marching well takes skill and practice. The OP is far more accurate, and damning of Trump, than any speculative icing to this cake that helps float the myth we can relax because the military is against Trump.
You think they somehow didn't practice for the event? And they forgot basic training?
Rumors are they had a few hours of practice.
Marching is not like riding a bike. A lot of people get shitty at it fairly quickly.
Combine that with the music not designed for marching, PA blaring, heat, and you're going to get some shitty marching.
Again, you train people to do certain tasks really well and you don't focus on marching for vanity, you'll get people who do those tasks really well, but not marching.
Funny how the vets in these comments are all saying the exact opposite.
