I’m a retired Sergeant Major, US Army Reserve and attended the Virginia Military Institute as a youth. I know something of what constitutes a military formation. Uniformity of dress, precision of movement, simplicity and efficiency in drill, strict adherence to cadence and, above all, esprit–all these are indicative of the schooled soldier. These Chinese troops show it all in the most outstanding parade I’ve seen.

China wasn’t defeated at all,all they did was a punitive strike(incomplete invasion).They invaded a small part and did little damage to their military and left.All that because of Vietnam invading Cambodia.

I am truly sick of the white supremacist attitude published everywhere over this parade. Nothing but negative comments.

Well, lets look at the facts. The great American military machine was comprehensively beaten by men wearing black pajamas in Vietnam, with no air force, no artillery, no nothing!

Then there’s Iraq. Have we won the war yet?? In anyone’s language, if it’s a retreat, it’s a lost. Just less dramatic than the fall of Saigon. Americans should get George W back in the White House so the country can, stay the course. Know your own limitations.

Dedication of armed forces is shown by the willingness to do anything no matter how trivial it seems, proudly. Dedication means these soldiers will not whine and cry wanting to go home to mommy. If you think these Chinese soldiers don’t have the dedication and will in the battlefield to win a war for their beloved country, it’s time to pull your head out of the sand.

And Tony, anyone with a gun is dangerous.
