My choice: UK >god tier aesthetics >excellent marches >long tradition, excellent variety >pipes and drums, most martial of all instruments youtube.com/watch?v=Yq7R2MBkqlk
Runner up: Germany >top tier marches >hugo boss aesthetic that somehow survived denazification >stahlhelms youtube.com/watch?v=6FPmvX0BGuQ
Honorable mentions: Italy for this youtube.com/watch?v=-N9NiEH9-vg&t= Russians/Chinks/Norks Impressive in scale and the Russians got some good marches but aesthetically bland unless you're some tankie
Worst: USA >hideous uniforms >low energy >no memorable marches besides yellow rose of Texas and battle hymn of the republic >no tradition >shit coordination >50% swarthoid Sad! youtube.com/watch?v=unHaJLuFNfA
>no tradition Shut the fuck moron, no country in the world had military tradition until America showed the world what it means to have a powerful and respected military.
Genuinely one of the best bits of drill I've ever seen. Especially the part where they have to turn a very sharp corner.

Well, speaking as an Australian. Ours is pretty shit. At least, on remembrance day over here in Melbourne.
Where a lot of it is the old blokes who served in places like Vietnam war, and looking like straight up stolen valor characters out of YouTube. You'll see lots of people wearing suits with black tinted glasses.
If you think that british parade in OP's link is anything but a collection of jesters stomping in place like mongs, there's nothing to discuss with you
If you think that a military parade requires anything but "a collection of jesters stomping in place" there's nothing to discuss. Imagine being so afraid of your population that you have to parade the entirety of your military might through the streets every week to keep them in check.

>Imagine being so afraid of your population that you have to parade the entirety of your military might through the streets every week to keep them in check. Your mentality is very "us vs them". Military parades are meant to show pride and strength of the people to the people, not the power of the "state" to its "subjects". I guess you lose the view that the military represents YOU when basic 2-year service is not a standard in your country.

you have a huge amount of faith in your state, where are you from?

>America >poorfag Sure bud. It's a waste of time, money, and training.
>increasing unit identity and coordination >maintaining traditions >improving military-public relations How are any of these things wastes of money or time
> giving a shit about pageantry Literally means nothing. The soviets were the best at parades, but you don’t see them marching around anymore now do you?
I see you’ve never had to march. It’s a waste of time and energy for everyone involved. It just impresses the onlookers and the people so high in rank that they forgot how annoying marches are
