Yeah, its for real. Ive seen similar clips before.

See, If I was in charge--on either side--I'd do things a bit differntly.

One day, with no warning, I'd have my guys come out in battle dress; tailored, clean and squared away, but no full-dress regalia. They would otherwise observe all military protocol, courtesy and etiquette, but no parade march or formations.

The other side would be so taken aback they would probably screw up their drill and wind up looking like the Keystone Kops.

Then, the next day, just in case they decided on some one-upmanship, I'd show up with an honor guard of intensely drilled midget soldiers.
