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 swear these get more and more elaborate with each one I see.

I'm disappointed it didn't completely turn into a breakdancing contest halfway through

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!"
