>> For military parades, you can't afford 5% of people who intentionally don't march in lock step. That's why usually the troops which participate in such parades are isolated and fed propaganda leading up to the parade. What? I've been on countless parades and don't remember any pre-parade propaganda. I've never even heard of such a think in a western military. Parades are just a regular day at the office. Honor guards and flag parties certainly practice heavily, but the idea that anyone "intentionally" doesn't march properly is ... odd. Also, "lockstep" should not be used in reference to parades. The lockstep was a punishment once inflicted on convicts in an prisons. If you go back hundreds of year there was a style of marching, but it was nothing like the more recent method used as a punishment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockstep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockstep
