The point of a uniformed service is to show your enemy that you have control and command over people who will follow your orders. Demonstrating this lowers your enemy’s will to fight back. It gets soldiers on the other side to think “If these guys are so organized that they march in unison, we don’t stand a chance.”

Fair enough.

It will not surprise me if in the next year, a new division in the army is created for parade duty for the president’s birthday where next year their marching will be perfect.

That would just be the chefs kiss of silly bullshit on top of everything else.
