I was wondering that precise thing. is there some kind of manual or code on how to march if your government is tending towards the totalitarian in character?
Of course, this may be the "display" or "ceremonial" march used only for intimidating viewers on television and film. Their normal cross-country march may be quite similar to the shuffle that our troops, and the Brits and Americans etc use to get around.
How did the goose step get its name? I never see geese walking in this manner. The only explanation that I can come up with is that depending on the closeness of the formation, the marcher is in constant danger of gooseing the fellow in front of him...
