This is something I started to notice recently, how certain countries parade around and show off their military weapons as if they were the focal point of their national pride.
Examples include Russia, North Korea, China, Iran, where they have these massive parades with soldiers in uniform marching along side tanks, and missiles, and some kind of weaponry. Most of these countries also tend to do something similar to a "goose-walk".
The only thing I could think of that is like that in the U.S. would be the Blue Angels that fly at Miramar, but that’s more of a local thing than a national thing, and it’s also more of a sporting event than a nationalism thing (you have to pay to attend). Even so, the jets aren’t armed with missiles or doing dog fights….
