(770 posts)My first husband served in the Navy during the Vietnam war, all of my uncles served in WWII, my brother in the Air Force, my son in the Marines and my grandson is now serving in the Army.
I have been to my share of military ceremonies and that one was very sloppy. I found it interesting that not one single unit did an eyes right salute.

(44,738 posts)The rather lackadaisical appearance of the marchers performance is a direct reflection on leaderships influence.
To put it another way, Hegseth and trump have degraded our military. In less than five months.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Trump does none of those.

(28,587 posts)I noticed that one of the groups of soldiers was on the wrong foot, so to speak. When marching to music the music is in 4/4 time, and your left foot is supposed to strike the ground with the downbeat (first) beat of the four count - LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT 1-2-3-4. This group was marching/walking/strolling with the right foot on the downbeat.
