@Margaret McClurkin Britain: Oh you need an Aircraft Carrier because Japan yeeted yours to the bottom of the sea? Sure! Here you go. Oh, you also need our help in the Pacific to help your marines land ashore? Of course! You also need our help to destroy Japanese installations in Singapore because all your Aircraft Carriers are damaged? No problem friend.

The hand movement was poorly coordinated and it felt so underwhelming. Still better than the americans but it pales in comparison to north koreans marching. kzitem.info/news/bejne/toOC2p-mbXN3npg 0:39 Just look at how coordinated and powerful their stopms are. Even the movement of their bodies are coordinated.

@@2411509igwt still, their marches are the best. Marching is a hard skill to master. The reason why authoritarian government always has the best marches is because they force them to do it. The reason why a less authoritarian government has disappointing marches is because they don't value it that much. You can use threat to make them better but you can also use money. If I'm a leader of a pretty wealthy country, I'd invest a lot of money for hell marches. The training may be tough but you'd be as rich as a football player, if you could do a great march. Actually it's gonna be considered as a professional sport where you'd have to compete with other marching teams.

you are comparing a British unit that is pretty much just a Drill Unit, vs a US army unit stationed in the UK, and not a drill team. I mean that is like comparing the combat effectiveness of a regular army unit to a reserve unit, and going man that reserve unit is trash compared to the other.

Jordan Favorite tbh I feel like our countries have the perfect alliance, the UK is the older ally. We help with matters that require experience and tradition. And the USA is the younger ally, they're young and fit, bigger than the older ally and very strong. Without the UK's age and experience there would be no USA and without the USA's strength the UK and the rest of the world would be speaking german, japanese and russian.

At the time the Americans were badly undertrained and could just about march in a straight line, but they paraded the Marines through London and the folk on the street loved it. One of the reasons the Brits loved the Americans is that after years of British rationing, Americans stood out as far larger, stronger and more muscular than British men. One imagines that the ladies of London took note of this. The generals sure did. Both the French and Aussies went out of their way to get hold of second rank American regiments to stretch their own numbers, and found them more than capable in a fight even despite their lack of discipline, simply due to being so much better fed than their enemies. The French ruffled American feathers by demanding all the colored regiments Pershing would release and using them on the front lines. Colored units were not suppossed to be up front because American brass wouldn't trust them. The French didn't care, they'd take whatever men they could get, and they loved black American troops. Many French medals went to regiments like the Harlem Hellfigthers

+Kylo Ren, p.s - a little more on the *Continental System* I wanted to mention but didn't have room to. Well, basically this system was a plan by Napoleon to deny Britain any trade with...all of Europe. A bit ambitious considering that Britain literally ruled the waves and how some countries relied heavily on trade with the global hegemonic power Britain. We were all over the place and expanding the Empire, with exotic goods, textiles, spices, woods/timber, porcelain, sugar, tea, furs and dyes etc as well as foods, stonework and art as well as numerous other commodities, confectioneries, clothing, paper, ink etc We basically had a growing Imperial trade Empire enforced by naval dominance and colonial task forces, and were just getting into our stride in India with the British East India company going wild in India and other ventures and exploits around the world. We still wanted to trade a lot with Europeans of course and if I remember rightly literally 40-50% of Russia's trade income came from trade with Britain at this time, and to simply stop trading with Britain, not just briefly but for years, did massive damage to their own economy. It was the same for Austria and Sweden etc. Anyone being told by Napoleon down the barrel of heavy cannons, to stop treating with Britain, because reasons....weren't exactly impressed. It hit their own stocks, economy and domestic prices for commodities extremely expensive. As supplies were cut off, the demand for things they wanted raised prices for a start, but caused major dissatisfaction with the system imposed by Imperial France. To be honest, France made most of Europe her bitch - and I'm not just saying that, they were literally paying tribute and grovelling to France - and even Russia agreed to terms with France out of fear of Napoleon's wrath. Until....they didn't. When they simply refused to obey Napoleon anymore and got their courage back, they said no to Napoleon; and Napoleon wasn't fond of people telling him no. So his solution? Punitive measures, punishing invasion assaults and bringing the disobedient to heel. He went after them. The rest, is history. In his rage to bring the Russians to heel, he just lost vision of the reality that his power was hanging by a thread and that as powerful as France truly was, it depending on Napoleon to preserve it. Marching into Russia during the time the dreaded winter - when temperatures regularly hit - 50 or worse, yes, minus 50/50 below in degrees Celsius not fahrenheit - of Russia was impending, well....the outcome was almost inevitable. Few, including his wife, warned Napoleon against it. But he didn't listen. Everyone believed in him. To his credit, he didn't lose a single battle; but he lost sight of the reality that that in and of itself, doesn't always guarantee victory in war (think of how things can happen in Game of Thrones; you can win all the battles but still lose the war) The Continental System, which tried to punish Britain and stop them getting any revenue from European trade, like seriously Napoleon tried to completely ban any trade with the British whatsoever, which in theory would cause major damage to the British economy, failed miserably. Not only did our Empire supply us with more than enough to carry on fighting, and not only did our home countries have enough farming and trade output to keep us alive anyway, at least for the time being (though in later wars, this would fall to 60% of total capacity, e.g. WWII Britain could supply 60% of its own food needs domestically but needed imports for the vital remainder, still pretty impressive considering the population increases by then since the Napoleonic Wars and the fact that Britain was under siege in WWII losing a lot of its trade ships by the millions of tonnes in tonnage, to German U-boats etc) but the Continental System Napoleon tried to enforce, was fundamentally anathema and offensive to his own ''allies'' (allies not out of loyalty, but fear) Russia was the big one, but Austria also joined them in protest, refusing to do as they were told. Napoleon was simply trying to bully Europe into treating Britain like a leper and avoiding Britain like the plague. You can see what Napoleon was going for and can't really blame him for trying to make a dint in Britain's overwhelming economic influence. Britain was indeed the richest nation on the planet at the time, and would remain so until the First World War. Britain was utterly dominant at sea especially after 1805, and continued to prove that fact. Overall, we were putting the French to shame in terms of global colonial ambitions, eventually rising to become literally 4 times richer than France by 1860 and having much, much more territory in terms of imperial square miles/kilometres owned. The end of the Napoleonic Wars saw Britain's power just go insane for the time, and one could say that the decades leading up to and including the Napoleonic Wars, were the final test for the Empire. It had suffered losses e.g. the American War of Independence in recent history but even then the British nearly won, and it had come out of the Napoleonic Wars as easily the biggest winner and beneficiary. National debt increases or not, it was kind of worth it in a massive way. Historians even call the 19th century, ''Britain's golden age'' or ''the British Imperial Century''. The ''Pax Britannica'' (British Peace) is a slightly misleading and/or misnomer like term, used to describe how, for decades, the majority of the 19th century, the British were so dominant that they brokered peace, exerted vast influence and used gunboat diplomacy (ironically, not very peaceful really, see what I mean?) to avoid greater scales of conflict. After the nightmarish scope (for the time) of the Napoleonic Wars which killed millions, there was the general aim globally, to avoid such war (and they did until WWI, nearly a hundred years later) Pax Britannica is not exactly true in most ways; we had to fight wars all the time, small, big, moderate or tiny, across the 19th century e.g. the large scale Crimean War against Russia. But still, Britain helped avert things getting crazy. Like, WWI crazy. Until...it didn't (you'll often hear, ''until, it didn't'' in history) WWI was the thing that caused the beginning of the end for the British Empire in many ways. Bled the life out of Imperialism for a start, not just British Imperialism specifically. Morally, politically and literally. So, Pax Britannica is sort of, ''yes and no'' in being a thing. It wasn't completely peaceful, absolutely not - but it did keep things generally to a sub-global scale. But we couldn't keep humanities crazy shit under the lid forever. Blame Germany lol Anyway, Britain was far too well-established for Napoleon's plan/plot of the Continental Policy to ever truly work. It might have had some short term impacts but we instantly realised what he was doing and mitigated him. This also could be considered a candidate for Napoleon's biggest mistake - doing this plan pissed off the Russians and Austrians so much that it guaranteed they'd go to war against France. When Napoleon fell back from Russia with just 27,000 men being fit for battle (670,000 men with hundreds of thousands of horses went into Russia; 93,000 frostbitten and traumatised survivors with virtually no horses came back out of Russia, only 27,000/93,000 actually being fit for action, the rest being maimed and or mutilated and either so ill they couldn't fight or so ill they were in need of weeks of recovery that might end in death anyway; how does a frostbite survivor with perhaps a snapped off nose, blackened and permanently damaged ear lobes, frozen off lips and eyelids and/or missing toes/fingers/both/maybe even hands, go back into frontline action where they need to handle muskets and blades? Not nice really) ...well, when that happened, the Russians and Austrians, Prussians and British, as well as many others, drew their knives, knowing that now was the time to strike the weakened beast. The *Continental System* failed dramatically. - It didn't do what it promised to do. - It caused more harm to France in a major backfire. - It just inspired Britain to be a bigger Imperial faction and double down on naval power and naval trade. - It just revealed how vulnerable France was to British naval superiority. - It ultimately had no way of being enforced without at the same time being strong enough to bully all of Europe into doing what you told them. - It ultimately just didn't work. Britain 1, Napoleon 0 lol

Even though the British may practice on marching and looking sharp, is that enough to win wars? No. As they practice on drills, we practice on winning wars.

Anyway, you've got to admit that without our support or our troops, everyone in the United Kingdom right now would most likely be speaking German. So please, don't bring us all into this. I hate seeing Americans spew hatred over the British and overusing the whole "we beat you guys" and the "We could easily defeat you today" insults. And I hate seeing Brits talk about Americans in that way just as much. The US and UK have a special relationship, both in and outside our militaries. And please, before you say we can't march (outside banter), look up "USMC Pass In Review" or something like that. You'll change your mind. The Army doesn't focus that much on drill. Thanks!

I mean, during WW I, dozens & dozens of numbered battalions were formed by all the major participants on both sides, fought as bravely as the old line regiments & then were quickly disbanded after the war, ceasing to exist except in memory & the history books. And with the rapid advances in military technology, it's unlikely that wars will ever be fought again by armies numbering in the millions. Best that they never be fought at all, of course.

Truth is Western Civilization was built on force of arms, moral righteousness, and great sacrifice of all kinds on the part of our ancestors. It will all be swept away one day by the internal rot of progressive-liberalism, moral relativism and political correctness. The UK, commonwealth nations and the US clung to the old, wise ways longer than some, but not long enough. The decision to reduce military readiness in order to appease the smug utopian nitwits who serve in our sacred democratic assemblies is just another symptom. But the rot is pervasive.

The difference here is that the British (and former Empire/Commonwealth militaries) adopted the type of drill used by Guards Regiments, which made a bit more of a show of precision to build the confidence of the public that these were well-drilled and well-trained soldier guarding their town. The Americans, through the turns of history, adopted the drill style used by field regiments where the primary goal was to maintain formation for fighting back in the days when they used single-shot muskets and rifles and controlled firing by an officer. Besides, being that far behind the band, it is hard to maintain step with the music.

Can't we all just shut the hell up and appreciate our alliance? And US military marching/drilling is meant to be utilitarian in nature without the need for pumping your arm up. But that's beside the point; point is, we're allies. Can't we just accept the fact that the US and British military (Army in this case) have different methods of doing things?

A lot of disparaging comments, which surprised me. We were in-country for a field exercise and invited to participate at the last moment, hence the uniforms We also have a more natural walking style for marching which doesn’t lend itself well to parades and on top of that, we were there for work and didn’t have time to practice.

There marching to British military music not there own so there going to be there not attuned to it. If you put British soldiers in a parade in the US there more then likely do the same. 3rd there are a number of American military personnel in the uk from all different branches of there military army, navy, Air Force marines etc so there representing tho's branches. Show some respect to are greatest ally. And these brave men and women who protect us on a daily basis

@ 87mogster Whenever I have marched in a parade, I (and anecdotaly everyone else) block out the band, as the beat of the Bass drum takes different times to cover the distance from the drum to the front and back of the squad so if you used that to keep step the front and the back of the squad would be at different steps . This gets even worse if there are two or even three bands playing as every member would be following a different drum beat . So it SHOULDN'T matter what song they are playing as you are to busy concentrating on what is going on around you.

The reason why we looked all jacked up is because most units don't do to much with D&C, usually there's specific units for that, like the silent drill platoon or the guards at the Tomb of the unknown soldiers. Most our ceremonial units are state side also

Geehad Those British soldiers are battle hardened veterans and probably been to Afghan. and definitely Iraq. Twice. Please don't confuse the ceremonial uniforms with a lack of will or ability to fight. And as someone who served in the RAF I can tell you that accuracy of drill teaches you pride in yourself, your appearance, your Regiment / Ship / Squadron and pride in our country's history. It teaches you to 'get it right' for your mates and NOT let them down. No different to combat. It was a shame the Yanks didn't look very disciplined or capable but that isn't because they march differently its because they were not commanded properly and told what was required. And then made to do it.
@soldier716

That's very true 1chish. Some units in the US military just don't care about drill and ceremony. Most hardly ever do it simply because there's been a big lack of pride and discipline I've noticed throughout the past few years. In 2005, on a company level we marched very often. It also comes down to the person's job as well. I've noticed non-combat arms with no military bearing at all and it really bothers me to see. When it comes to our combat effectiveness, we're good, but the US military has a habit of creating stupid confusing rules, lack of communication and micromanagement. It's not these soldiers' fault they're terrible at marching and wearing mix-matched uniforms, their leadership failed them miserably and unfortunately made us all look bad in the process.

All these people saying "the Americans don't train for parades, we train for battles which is why we aren't good in parades." etc. Well, I have news for you... The British Army also trains for parades and train for combat. In basic training, you are taught how to march., as well as how to fire a weapon etc. The US Army upper management just don't bother as they are like every other leader (whether it be a business or a union): they are too scared to spend money as they will lose some. I have served and the American soldiers are some of the best I have spoken too, and I say they deserve better!

The US Army will not get rid of Urban combat dress uniform/'gray' uniform because it blends into a Urban envirement hence afghanistan. But how ever this only counts for traditional soilders like infantry,artillery,mechanics,engineers but if lucifer was talking about Special Forces or Special Operations/spec ops your combat dress uniform will be the envirement surrounding you through your tour of duty.

It adds height and stature to a soldier,with height being a desirable attribute in European armies of the 18th and 19th centuries.The bearskin cap was also a functional piece of headgear.Since the fur came down past the eyes,it broke the silhouette of the soldier head and lancers who were trained to hit the head, would hit the bearskin cap instead.The curb chain,or 'chin strap', which some may wonder why is worn on the chin instead of under it,is so that it can protect face from Sabre slashes.

I'm not certain how much the British Army trains on drill and ceremony, but you're probably right. I joined the US Army right out of high school and things like drill and ceremony were more of an afterthought in training. They covered it briefly early in the training and then quickly beat it back into us for our graduation. Luckily a lot of soldiers take it upon themselves to get DandC down and look good for ceremonial events.
