Fascist Italy was World War II's biggest laughing stock

Its soldiers were incompetent, stupid, dumb, undisciplined, low in morale, a bunch of cowards, poorly-trained, mediocre, inefficient, a total disgrace. It was only good in parades and other field demonstrations, but it's a laughing stock when it comes to fighting wars. While its Axis partners Japan and Germany were conquering other countries, the Italian Army was busy enjoying the good life, playing music, dancing, chasing women, getting drunk,etc. They launched an invasion they couldn't accomplish. They couldn't even hold Greece for more than 3 weeks, distorting Germany's war strategy (the Wehrmacht were forced to intervene in order to retrieve the situation).
