As a retired Army veteran U.S. Army I can sense these soldiers are catching pure hell marching, look at there facial expression I pity the soldier who falls out or faints. R.I.P.
@@josephwu3136'discipline' when marching in formation yeah, but I suspect they wouldn't do so well in real combat situations. The fact they put so much effort into something purely formality such as this is rather vain too.
They did excellent in combat. Kim Il sung and his guerillas liberated Korea from Japanese occupation. And pushed back america forces all the way to the 38th while Korea and Chinese was its poorest point in history and america was at the height of its military and economic peak. My Grandfather Wu Wei from taishan guangdong served in the 27th company PVA against American aggression in Korea. He was the strongest and bravest man I know and lived to be 91 in 2014. All those times he got ambushed and bombed and left unscratched. Even colonel macarthur had to Give respect where respect is due when he saw a company of Chinese enemies frozen in formation awaiting enemy troops.
@@josephwu3136True, but that's a decades old war where the Chinese soldiers, fresh out of a civil war, had a great deal of experience. No one knows how they would perform in a modern war after a long period of peace.
The WWII German army and the East German Volksarmee are the first examples of goose stepping that come to my mind. Even then, there are three marching steps they use. "Gleichschritt" is for standard field marching. It is the same as the U.S. "quick time." What we see in news reels of German troops passing in review is the "Paradenschritt," the parade step. The actual "Stechschritt," goose step, with legs at 90-degree angles, was/is only used for ceremonies and the changing of the guard. People can only manage full Stechschritt for a brief time. It is strenuous! These poor bastards are being forced to do a full goose step for extended periods. I can only imagine how painful and exhausting that march must be!!
With all of the insider video from the mother lands one must wonder how highly place Lars the dog really was to be able to collect this incredible footage. What we learn from this is that all Nork troops have hip and knee problems from practicing goose stepping.
Asian hips and knees are designed to withstand large amounts of trauma in order for them to be able to do Karate kicks and flips as well as ninja stuff. Hence why North Koreans (or “Norks” for short) are programmed to March like this.
@@goodstuff8156 Asian hips and knees are designed to withstand large amounts of trauma in order for them to be able to kowtow to their leaders, like beaten dogs.
how can you sue a country that can just refuse to obey your laws and threaten you with nukes? they easily can just refuse then threaten with nukes if they get pressured. and i doubt the USA would start a fight over a song so they won't care or enforce it.
It would be a nightmare for one of those marchers to pull a muscle right before marching in front of the dictator’s stand and not being able to thrust his leg up. Wonder if that’s ever happened.
@@ninjaartist1235 Nah, that kind of marching is killer on the legs and feet. They are extending their legs way too high for goosestepping and doing it way too fast (which is why they look like they are dancing). Practicing that everyday for weeks on end is not easy at all.
I remember watching a video where they were interviewing a former female soldier who escaped North Korea awhile back. She was a fair bit older and actually quite a joyous person, but she said marching in these kinds of parades were horrible and would absolutely destroy your feet.
@eurobeat_enjoyer only to those whose information universe consists solely of social media,group messaging apps,live streams or nut job conspiracy theorist websites.
If there’s one respectable thing about North Korea it’s their military personnel’s dedicated, which looking at this footage is just stunning to me, compared to other countries.
This spring march is the exact opposite of the slow pace march of the French stranger legion that reflects the calm, control and mastery of their fighting skill.
Incredible discipline, for this level of coordination, its honestly unsettling the military totally reduces the individual to stay within the same formation, God forbid youre a human and make a mistake. Pretty interesting
I saw a North Korean defector interviewed, who said she was told to use two belts under her uniform, as a sort of corset, because that exaggerated slamming down of the feet could cause internal injuries over the length of a parade. I don't know if that's true, but it looks damned uncomfortable.
@@AlexMilenk It isn't because of fancy parades. What is always at the back of Korean's minds is that during the "Korean War", that country lost one third of it's population owing to the "UN" and of course Uncle Sam.
