Your left, your left, your left righto left righto left right your left, keep in step, keep in step, step, step, step...

Runs through my head when walking alone, 15 years later.

So, the SCOTUS ruled the feds control who is on the ballots in each state, right?

There is no such thing as a federal ballot.

Because there's a fair chance they did it purposefully.

So, Donald wasn't allowed to appear on the Colorado ballot, being an insurrectionist?

Except, every soldier is quite capable of doing it, and does it routinely.

Marching can be done to no music.

Side ranks keep sideeye on the element leader to the side, everyone else keeps side eye to the person on their right.

There are also the marshall with the whips. If all else fails, you keep cadence to that.

In a silent march, you keep in step with the "Clomp clomp clomp", which also, is quite easy to do, and is done often.

Not anymore. The SCOTUS ruled already that they must have their ballots approved by the Feds, and feds can overrule their ballots.

I guess no, they cant learn to goose step, that quickly, because US troops dont goose step when marching.

Anyone who has served longer than 3 years has done a pass and review.

Anyone who has been to a perm duty station has had a class A inspection.

Anyone who has ever served has marched daily, in formation, from point A to point B.

Double time is a marching speed, aka running, and you have to run in step.

Marching makes up like half the activity of marching band

Marching makes up about 25% of daily life for a solider. We had PT formations, morning formation, weekend safety briefing formations, formations for training sessions, etc etc. If you have an element of troops, of any size, and they need to move from Point A to Point B, you're marching there.

D&C is used daily by the US Army, to move personnel from point A to point B. During running. During inspections. During pass and reviews.

15 years out, and "9 to the front and 6 to the rear" is still drilled into my head. Even my "about face" is still solid, while needing some practice.

I am hardly blindly patriotic, and I critique the US when is should be (Which is often).

Yes, this was a case of malicious compliance.

If you want to see evidence, here's some normal soldiers (Not ceremonial guards) marching:
