My FRiend. If you ever see someone goose-stepping — you know they are NOT a conservative.

Well this betrays a certain lack of knowledge about the goose-step, which remains a feature of military drills in about 50 countries today. It’s quite simply a form of military march, one that long predates its usage by the Third Reich, and in current use carries no association with that period.

You can’t see Nazis everywhere you know.

Oh I kno. Goose stepping doesnt mean they’re a Nazi. The NorKors are big on it. And they aren’t Nazis.

You can also see a fine example of it the movie War and Peace where a Russian battalion is advancing under fire at the battle of Borodino.

But I’m telling you, FRiend. If you see someone goose-stepping — they are NOT a conservative.

This is a long video but really very interesting. This is a marvelous parade, and really very sharp display. Modern units intermingled with units in historical uniforms. Very well done — and impressive.

However, while the Chileans may not be Nazis — they sure don't mind looking like them. Yikes!
