Similar displays are carried out by China and North Korea,... Sabre rattling for sure, but you have to admire the meticulous planning that goes into these type of displays.

Damn right they should celebrate Agueerrrrooooooooooooooooooooo day like that.

I find these things a bit depressing. All those people, just cogs in the machine, a parade of conformity and celebration of war and destruction. I wish there was just one guy in a clown costume.

No pics of female army members yet. Disappointing thread.

Impressive?

Pathetic more like. It is telling that China, Russia and North Korea have these silly parades and they are all undemocratic and authoritarian societies.

Imagine the outrage and ridicule if there was an annual parade like that in Washington DC.

The USA haven't got enough service people left in the country to hold a parade as they are all deployed on active duty fucking up other countries in pursuit of the neocons Project for a New American Century.

I understand what you are saying, and agree with your sentiment. I think you misunderstood my point.

What I find impressive is with thousands of people taking part, there is hardly a footstep out of place, must have taken many hours of practice.

Of course I understand these displays are ultimately just a willy waving excercise to say to other countries don't mess with us.

It isn't that hard to march in time.

The Boys Brigade did it decades ago.

That is awesome. Wish I could watch it live.
