Hmmm, I tried to find USMA from that same c-span video site, and found nothing.As a side note, the picture from the Washington Times article was blown up from this official USAFA public anouncement (see http://www.usafa.af.mil/News/Articl...academy-cadets-march-in-inaugural-parade.aspx ). I'm willing to cut the Cadets marching some slack because it was taken before the parade started. That said, there is no excuse for a USAFA employee, Melissa Porter (U.S. Air Force Academy Public Affairs), to post a picture of Cadets "marching" before the parade route. They are out of step because they were in a pseudo-casual mode. Up to this point, I'm a little suspicious of what the authors beef is. A.K.A., he is stretching to make his point.
But I was interested in seeing how the Cadets looked when they crossed the President's viewing station. Google is a powerful tool. Answer: See https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4653995/usafa-inauguration-parade. Watch it, then scroll and pause to 00:27. I'm not impressed. Advise to the author L Todd Wood: First, try Googling for 3 seconds. You could have put together an even a stronger argument. Perception is reality: and the perception is, the small group of marchers lacked discipline. I'm going to call a spade a spade; guilty as charged.
A quick google search shows https://www.c-span.org/video/?422243-1/president-trump-walks-inaugural-parade . But this is the entire c-span recording. It will be beyond >>>> the 1:30 mark. All am pretty sure, all Academies are shown. Users can then customize their own clips. That was the link I gave earlier (a parent creating a small portion which google picked up. Also, see https://www.facebook.com/WestPointU...80936771231/10151256034736232/?type=3&theater showing about 18 pix. USMA marching was"crisp". In the series of pix on the FB link, there is a nice aerial view.Hmmm, I tried to find USMA from that same c-span video site, and found nothing.As a side note, the picture from the Washington Times article was blown up from this official USAFA public anouncement (see http://www.usafa.af.mil/News/Articl...academy-cadets-march-in-inaugural-parade.aspx ).
