I agree
there is no point in such wasteful event specially when there is threat of terrorism
a small, short but smart batch of soldier can perform that ceremony at some national monument followed by gun salute etc. this parade is not country specific though. not aimed against India.
it was not entirely military parade. people who remember it would tell you it started with military and then followed up with cultural floats, industry and representation from 4 provinces etc. the civilian part used to resemble a festival.
by the way its not just communist style, other western countries also have such military parades, I witnessed the flight past of F-16s in Belgium last year and then there is one by France also.
it shouldn't be conducted or cancelled because West also does it or India or Russia also does it. but because the current situation doesn't allow it and specially such large scale display is wasteful
More than any other reason, it should be conducted to raise morale of the nation. I really don't care about Obama or Chinese premier. For me they are none. But nation needs something to be proud of, something to cheer about before tragedy and sorrow consumes our soul.
