This doesn't frighten me. This means their wasting their time learning how to parade march instead of learning contemporary battle tactics. I see no indication that they have any actual unity and courage as fighters. They just have a lot of raw time with which to train people to do things. Ritual practice is good, but not for its own sake and at the cost of real training.
Indeed. My posting was meant to be ironic, as whenever tensions arise, the media find photos like these that are supposed to instill fear. I found this one particularly funny.
