It's a military parade because fascism wasn't won in the "marketplace of ideas" as liberals proclaim, but with tanks and guns. Why is it dishonest to say that the event is full of civilians celebrating this historical event? It's one of the most relevant historical events to be celebrating because we will very soon need another one against today's fascists that have taken over everything and everywhere.

    Not a parade full of civilians:

    Notice the difference?
