China 60th anniversary. Beautiful, and yet Sooooo scary.

I served briefly in the Canadian Military.
I was taught how to march properly.
Proper marching in formation is indicative of many things, to sum it up for me: The better you march, the more I need to fear you.
Hey my theory, Just Me.
I watch the Nazi’s marching and I get a chill.
I watch a lot of banana republics etc. marching and I get a chuckle.
This is a simplified view of the world, but those who agree with me, look at these pages and tell me: Chuckle or Chill?
Who is ready and who is not?
OH and they just happen to have about 1/3 of the earth’s population.

Well you saw the opening ceremonies of the Olympics last year didn't you!? It was amazing! That should be some insight to the dedication and pure discipline they carry over into their work given proper planning. Now imagine it w/ military leadership put behind it! So my answer would be CHILLS.

Here are two samples, that to me are nothing short of stunning!

China has a standing army that is greater in number than the entire population of the USA...

That is true, but I have to take some consolation that we are still better armed (for the time being).

Give 200,000,000 people a stick and that is still very dangerous army.
