In this day and age, it is madness for a parade commander to keep yelling his lungs out. Can’t we buy him a loudspeaker for heaven’s sake?
As a matter of fact, even that is unnecessary.
It shouldn’t be too expensive to fit a small gadget in each soldier’s ear to enable them hear the parade commander whisper, ”Quick march!”
Something else with the army…… that business of asking the commander-in-chief for permission to march off the parade isn’t a great idea.
Has it ever occured to them that the commander-in-chief might one day be in a foul mood and refuse to grant permission?

The boys and girls would hang around Nyayo Stadium for months waiting for permission from State House!
