I'm watching the news tonight, and it occurs to me that the only armies (to my knowledge) that choose to "goosestep" are those that serve tyrannical, totalitarian regimes. I would think (in my non-military mind) that if I were part of a new regime, that I would try to get the ear of the new Exalted Leader and tell him "Uh, Your Greatness, if we continue to use the goosestep for all our troops, everyone in the world will know, I mean suspect that we're gonna be seen around the globe as a real threat to world peace. What say that purely just for image sake, we do away with it?"
Has this ever come up in a military college? Why do these folks persist, when so many countries not so interested in global enslavement and total annihilation of the West, decide to pass on it? It's not like I think that these armies should march like Bill Murray's recruits in the movie "Stripes" ("...that's the fact, Jack! ), but there must be a compromise somewhere! geegee
