I knew the Chiang and the KMT were heavily influenced by the Germans, but I am surprised that they kept the Nazi salute copied from the Germans in the 30's during Chiang's little modernization movement.

Before the Germans sided with the Japanese Imperiliast Empire, the Germans gave equipment and training to the NRA (National Revolutionary Army). Such Equipment included the Infamous German "Stahlhelm" and the 98k along with prussianized uniforms and Mannerisms, such as the "Stechschritt" (Goose-Step).

@daz18 I'm sure you know who the USMC are and their fighting capabilities. Watch one of the Silent Drill Platoon vids. Every country's military has a rich history of tradition and their drills reflect that.

@kimchiguru: admittedly the whole "honor guards" thing isn't really my bag but the reality is that most established nations have a honor guard tradition...... one to check out for it's formality and pomp are the changing of the border guards along the Indian-Pakistani border.

So much precision..Much respect, much respect

[daz18daz18daz18]

they should train how to fight more instead of doing this poitless crap reali th wat is the point atall

[drifter847]

@daz18daz18daz18 This performance shows the dicipline in a man. And it also shows that they can follows direct orders that were given to them during training to be done during the performance. Like during a war, all the orders are given during training. In the battlefield if you are disciplined enough to follow those orders, then you will survive the war.

天啊，我不行了！

三軍儀隊健兒怎麼有辦法一個個都這麼俊帥、這麼挺拔啊！

[xcydnas]

天啊，这么复杂......

[samdaman2113]

This is just like the changing of the guard of the tomb of the unknown soldier! coppiers!!

[Jeroboy]

OMG, that is so difficult. I remember that I used to drop my light weighted riffle at the school military parade. I would drop dead from embarrassment if I drop my riffle in their situation. I feel a bit of sympathy for them, cos you have stand there for a long long time. Plus the riffles which they use looks very heavy. But then again, that's their full time job.
