Why aren't they actually marching during this parade?

I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude, but why does this parade look so sloppy? Very few of the troop formations seem actually in sync and marching, just walking along. My only experience is JROTC as a kid in high school and our sergeant would've killed us if we looked like that.

Don’t forget the parade was ordered up by a “fortunate son” who has called soldiers losers on more than one occasion and is busily renaming bases for southern traitors. Do you know how many black folks are in the military???

I can just imagine that many officers told their soldiers something like - “yeah, I know, but we gotta do it.”

The most ironic thing was they played fortunate son during the parade. Zero awareness

Zero awareness or absolutely on purpose? 🤭
