They're crazy disciplined over there.




Also, 70th anniversary of what?

The start of Communist China. I think that was the reason for the parade and the hardware on display.

SIX, thanks for the video of the Okympic opening ceremoeny, which I miised.

But in terms of discipline, that ain't got nothing on the National Day parade,

If you want to see precision marching, go to about 2:05

So I watched China's 70th Anniversary parade. It was an historic event and I was interested to see what it would look like. I also watched Russia's Victory Day parade this year, and some interesting comparisons came to light.

As somebody who grew up under an extremely overbearing home situation, I watch something like this and it makes me really sad.
It's a very impressive display, but at the same time, I couldn't imagine what life under Communist rule would be like.
As much as I constantly rag on the US Government about almost everything under the sun, I still feel like I won the life lottery by living here. SIX
