I thought I knew a little about the customs and traditions of the US Army. But I don't recall being aware that June 14th is the army's birthday. Further, I don't recall it being celebrated on any army post I was stationed at on the appointed day.

REAL tanks, not cardboard like the CCP and N Korea.

One of the parades of all time

FWIW Wikipedia is never wrong.

You could compare the two events today and come up with :

No Kings ....... bratty kids demanding someone listen to their diatribe .

Military Parade...... the grown ups that honor those who serve , honor and respect .

Which one would you want to have affect your world ?

I can't hardly believe there were 70K in Peeattle.

I caught a few minutes of U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal 'modulating'.

She said (If I recall) 'The presence of assault weapons is a political attack on democracy'

The rest of what she said made even less sense....

I just watched the parade online. I hope our enemies weren't watching. Most of the marching was pretty slack. I'd expect much better for a presidential review. Lots of soldiers out of step. It was pretty obvious to me that soldiers in some of the formations just weren't used to close order drill. On very many occasions, senior crew members in vehicles failed to render the salute to the reviewing stand. In fact, the vehicle crewmen mostly presented a very un-warrior like conduct. Playing to the crowd, clowning around.

In the army, the standard parade rate of march is a 30 inch step quick march at 120 steps per minute. I don't know what happened, but one of the armored divisions (I couldn't see the number on their flag) was marching at some weird trot, maybe copied from the Ethiopian Army. There is a half step rate of march, not often used, but it's done at the same rate as the quick march but with a 15 inch step.

No doubt there were many reserve components units in the order of march. I guess you can expect these soldiers to be less used to marching. I saw the 42d ID there, they are ARNG, their marching performance was some of the better.

But I think they should do these things more often.

As long as they can fight I'm not worried about perfect marching

Yea I noticed that as well.

I'm thinking they probably started out in formation but due to the distance they had to march there was no way they could stay in formation.

On very many occasions, senior crew members in vehicles failed to render the salute to the reviewing stand.

And this as well. Probably half or less DIDN'T render a salute.

There's a sort of a truism, a military that focuses more on drills and parade, and looking smart... Doesn't always mean they're actually good at fighting wars.

It was fine indeed, considering I did not have to stand there for hours like Ive done many times before.

Nothing that comes out of her mouth ever comes close to sense.
