The point is if you can’t maintain order and discipline marching down a fucking street in front of the president as a ceremonial projection of power how the fuck are you going to maintain order and discipline when you’re on a forced march in enemy territory with interrupted supplies
Like if the soldiers look like shit because “they don’t want to be there” imagine how they’re gonna look when they’re sent out on patrol from an FOB and every third run results in an IED casualty. You think they’re going to want to be there?
It frankly doesn’t fucking matter where they want to be what matters is where they’re ordered to be. This lack of discipline is an indictment of the soldiers but most of all the officers
Total disaster, no wonder these fucking bums got fucked up by goat herders despite being armed with the pinnacle of military technology.
Do you look at the pop and lock choreography of the Arlington cemetery ritual or the parades of the life guards of small European monarchies and think “Yup, those are transferable skill to the battlefield”?
There’s something to be said about being able to do something like that en masse - it shows a healthy training and organizational structure with discipline and morale, even if the sync-marching isn’t necessarily an important skill.
I fuckin love him for going back and not just remastering but fully re-recording his classic 90s tracks. It was such a wonderful surprise when I saw they were remastering the games.
Oh for sure. Pretty sure he just likes doing it since I believe he did some original music for the Twisted Insurrection and Mental Omega mods for RA2. I still blast all the old C&C OSTs when I’m playing any RTS to this day.
Compare and contrast (unironically love the seemingly value-neutral Hell March industrial complex on youtube that makes these montages of literally any army parade)
I don’t actually think that the PLA being parade trained is a point in their favor tbh. It’s silly no matter who does it.

Disaster
Timing and precision seem important skills, imo.

Yeah but those are like two dudes.

Look at how rarely European monarchs get assassinated these days though, it must be doing something
I look at replies that don’t care until they do.
What
Military parades can be cool and good IMO. The organization is very satisfying
Your opinion is not the same as mine and is therefore ontologically wrong.
spoiler
I’m just being silly. I don’t actually care enough about this subject to make a deal about it.
Grrr fuk u
no
Yes?
It’s not silly it’s literally the coolest thing ever
Frank Klepacki one of the GOATs. RTS doesn’t feel the same without the weird, industrofunk metal blasting.
He’s still got it.
