I feel like this should also count as a military parade cause all other descriptors I have for it are more embarrassing
It's not so much a show of force as an excuse to march in silly hats. There's a lot of legitimate flack we can take but this is just being goofy
The hats were made famous by a legendary Fr*nch regiment. When that regiment was given a damn good spanking, the British captured the hats, and started wearing them to taunt the Fr*nch.
Yeah but these are often accompanied by us flying all of our military aircraft over London. I think the analogy holds, even if ours is a bit eccentric.
