Until now, Belgium had the reputation for having the world's worst military marchers. However, it now appears that the British military is in strong contention for that title. As you can see its not just that the Brits in this video are horribly out of synch while marching, they also put little to no effort in swinging their arms. It's no wonder since many of them look their would prefer to swing their arms to grab a ham sandwich. Oh, and could the Brits exhibit just a slight bit of enthusiasm in their marching? I remember as a kid seeing the British Tattoo when it came to America and was quite impressed with their precision marching. Obviously such precision marching standards has declined drastically in Britain since then.
PING!
You think that picture would have struck fear in the heart of Hitler?
How about the worst colonizers? Did they both have competition with the Portuguese?
Looks like group of slobs created by wokeness.
Maybe this is their tactic, for their enemy to die laughing?

Holy carp! Round Boy’s got the belt on so he won’t explode.
Looks like of photo of how NOT to “march”. Also looks like they might be some sort of high school ROTC-type group, not Bloke (British) military. They can’t even line up correctly with a mixture of very tall and very short mixed next to one another.
But if you ever get a chance to see the Red Arrows, take it!
...created by wokeness AND DEI!
That’s the ultimate outcome of Did Not Earn It.
I’ve seen high school marching bands give a far better performance and certainly with more energy. In my college marching band were had to be able to do a 221/2” step blindfolded to give a precise 8 steps to 5 yards on the field while playing our instruments. Granted precision marching doesn’t make an effective fighting force, but does show discipline and esprit de corps that would appear very lacking especially in the Belgian unit.
Laugh of the day!

If you think marching has gotten bad, try listening to your typical college band.
Let’s be fair....I’m sure they all probably go to a gym.
The problem is that their favorite workout machine is likely to be the vending machine.
Have them march across a bridge....
Uh...those people aren’t “British”.
So that might be part of the problem...the south Nairobi high school marching band may have a problem, but an actual regiment of the English army wouldn’t.
think you are right. I have had occasions to see the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards and the Highland regiment march. They were perfect. Better than us. except maybe some Marine units.
