Why do the armies of rogue nations show how big and bad they are by marching through their streets while kicking their legs high like cute little cheerleaders?
Could it be that they didn't go to evil cheerleading camp for nothin?
Why do bad guy armies march like a bunch of pansies?
Marching styles such as the Nazi Goosestep are a way for dictators to break down the soldiers mind to make them more submissive. The marches are a display of national strength.
Reply:Why not?
Tradition is tradition.
We have all kinds of marches that we do in the Army. Some is for fun and others are for show.
Reply:My country (Russia) does the "goose step" We are not a third world country, and we are not cheerleaders. I've been to Chechnya and Dagestan. its just a traditional drill. Why does USA spin rifles around? Why Does Britain and Canada and the Aussies stamp their feet when doing drills?
Who cares, is just traditional old drill.
Since your curious about the origins? For us, it came from Imperial Russia, under the Czar. I believe we got the tradition it self from the Germans. if I recall. (Im not too sure) it was invented by Otto Von Bismarc, for the intimdating "CUSH CUSH CUSH CUSH" sound that it makes when a large formation does that march. It sounds like crushing rocks.
