Goosestepping: a query
« on: March 12, 2012, 07:45:37 PM »
I have some interest in WW2. ALl the films and documentaries I see ( and subsequent comedies) show goosestepping. On ther oppo side obviously.  ::)

AS we all have done, I have tried this, along with the finger across the top lip and and the old hand salute.

Thing is, that goosestep  stuff must be bloody painful. HOw did they keep it up?  rubschin:

I can't even do more than 4  noooo:

Practice I'd guess.

I've noticed that goosestepping seems to be the preserve of dictatorship/totalitarian/facist states. You couldn't imagine the British army doing it.

Why is this?

Quite so!

Is it meant to be scarey? I challenge all VPers to do a few goosesteps and report back!  :thumbsup:

I just did.
