"I know from personal experience that this is called 'route step', and it's how soldiers have been trained to march, while staying in formation, but who are expected to cover a relatively long distance. I know Trump was expecting something like what you'd see at a North Korean military parade, but American soldiers are NOT trained for that sort of exhibition style marching.

Every single soldier in the US Army has to learn to march and does so for weeks in while in Basic Training and have a large company level parade when they graduate. They wear their best class A uniforms and spend weeks getting ready for the event. These guys and gals that TRump was bullying put no effort into it so as to make a point to that pig in POTUS to say "we are not your ------- political pawns to play with to intimidate our own fellow citizens." That's what it looked like to me.
It's not like they give the rats they test 100 joints a day and then they stroke out or anything.
