The Stechschritt (literally, "piercing step") was developed in the 1700s. It's purpose was to move large masses of soldiers over the battlefield. As troops move a known distance at a known speed it's easy for commanders to position then. Today, it's used for parades. It requires a high degree of coordination, discipline, and morale. The units in the parade have spent months practicing. Likely there are ceremonial units.

The average NK citizen is reported to be three inchers shorter. However, another site said 1-2 inches shorter. Most people love be on a twice monthly ration issue. If you can get into the military, you eat much better.

Thanks for that link. It actually states NK's goose step is unique in that it's a bouncing goose step. I've seen the straight leg marching before, it was the bounce that piqued my interest.

"North Korea practices a form of bouncing goose step, which leaves a visual impression of a clear bounce in each step. This is unique among all militaries that practice the goose step.[26] North Korea switched from a standard Soviet goose step to the bouncing goose step between 1993 and 1997."

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Yeah, but they sure can get down.


Look at the officers around their holy impotence, I've never seen uniforms covered from top to bottom with medals before. Bet they jingle jangle.

holy impotence, that's pretty good. ha !
