They can dEfEnD oUr NaTiOn against brown peasants, but can't march in step because they apparent forget how to do so after basic training? Shit, it's been over 20 years since my military service and I'm 100% sure I could still manage to march in step

Sounds like it was too loud to hear the cadence by the reviewing stand. I don't think it was an ability jssue or an apathy issue.

Even then you'd expect them to be able to march in step with each other even if they can't hear some cadence.

Like I said in another comment, I think it's just more likely they did the bare minimum because they absolutely didn't give a fuck about being performing monkeys for King Trump

edit: I was in the military for years. I don't understand how some of y'all make marching in step and in formation sound like fucking quantum physics

You need some kind of cue to keep in step. If you can see the other guys feet, that helps, but often tinted you can't. The sound of yourself matching helps, but without some occasional cadence, or other governing factor, the speed of the match tends to change in a collective sort of way. My BMT platoon would get faster as we marched, unless the DI shouted at us occasionally.
