Watching the obligatory file footage on North Korea, and see all the fancy dancing their troops do while on parade.

What is the practical benefit of goose-stepping?

-Reduced tripping?

-Scary loud footsteps?

-Great Hamstring exercize?

Something else?

"Originating in Prussian military drill in the mid-18th century, the step was called the Stechschritt (literally, "piercing step") or Stechmarsch...Like other march steps, the "Stechschritt" originated in the 18th century as a method to keep troops lined up properly as they advanced towards enemy lines."
