  3. The belt buckle is centred, the buttons are deliberately off centre. You can see as the tie is in the middle like the belt buckle.

  9. Doesn’t cost any extra.

  10. Party Animals They aren’t off centre. The belt is inline, the belt doesn’t match the buttons and never has done.

  11. Carrying out army traditions, like this, doesn’t cost extra money. The exercise has a point, to carry out a tradition and maintain high kit standards and discipline.

  14. The belt buckle is centred, look again using the tie as a reference. The buttons are deliberately off centre. The soldier isn’t wearing a tunic either.

  15. sdnalyam What a constructive argument you present. The army are not neglecting any of its role by carrying traditions.

  27. American armed forces do as much drill as the UK, it’s not publicised as much. The British army teaches the same skills, the uk armed forces are known for its educational deployments.

  28. You need to look into OCD if you think is it, common stereotype. The point is to carry on the tradition, measuring a distance while maintaining discipline and personal standards of uniform.

  37. Enforces discipline and pride, looking after kit is essential to maintain kit and equipment in the field. No extra money is used teaching this. There is no correlation between army traditions and homelessness, no evidence.
