It’s like watching Monty python
Ministry of Silly Military Tactics
Funny walk 👍
Needs some work, I’m sure the ministry will reject the claim for it being to simple and straight forward.
Where do you think they got the idea.
“On second thought, let’s not call an Indian artillery strike. It is a silly process.”
This is a demonstration for the public and TV on Republic Day at the national parade. It’s mostly performative and is meant to be exaggerated and over the top because that’s what’s expected at this parade. Millions of families wake up early morning on Jan 26th every year to watch these performances. They even have performances from school children from different cultures in India, an air show, giant missiles, etc.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this. Exhibition performance.
Also doing those movements would be a hell of a workout.
Ministry of silly walks
And now for something completely different.
What the fuck did i just watch
Anyway have an upvote
This reminds me of the border ceremony between India and Pakistan that is an awesome display of militaries upping each other in silly walks.
Honest question to Indian and Pakistani lemmings:
Does this look cool in its own cultural context?
I’m disappointed it didn’t completely turn into a breakdancing contest halfway through
I swear these get more and more elaborate with each one I see.
Much cooler than the US military who just throw their rifles around, and the UK who stamp a lot and have big hats.
I don’t care much for military parades but I’d rather watch the Indian/Pakistani one than any old regular western style. Both are kinda ridiculous but at least these are funny to watch with their “oh yeah!? well I can kick THIS high!”
“hut hut hut hut hut hut hut hut”
This is Sikh
“Come on, mateys, step in time…
Load the magazine, step in time…
Never need a reason, Never need a rhyme…
Fire at will, step in time!”

Not a rehearsal for a Bollywood movie about war?
Be careful, their Group Dance move buffs the protagonist unit to absurd levels.
They can’t help it, Bollywood has an AoE over the entire country.
Is there some utility to all that?
No, but there is some artillery
They’re waiting for their applications to the Ministry of Silly Walks to come through.
Don’t you see how patriotic and serious they are? They did the very patriotic and very serious walk and everything!
It’s probably a joke they filmed for fun. You never know with the military but none of them are visibly considering killing their butterbar so it’s probably the joke thing.
Butterbar?
Slang for a 2nd lieutenant (lowest ranking officer in the army) because their insignia is a gold bar.
Pageantry is always useful
Any nation attacked like this or defended against like this would just have to dissolve in shame.
When your general also loves musicals
Military heads and their little ritual dances.
Wait, are commanders often autistic?
