General Discussion

I'm not sure where the "Fortunate Son" music came from, but that says it all.

Whoever planned this all most likely justified the lack of martial band music and the slipshod marching as somehow taking the threatening authoritarian edge off the proceedings. And that worked. It also detracted from the highly regimented tribute to himself that Bonespurs Krasnov had imagined.

It is a bit of a shame that the Army was cheated out of a celebration of its 250th Anniversary. I'm sure the soldiers directly involved might have preferred a means of celebration other than "Parade Duty" and if good ole American ingenuity is still what I hope it is, I imagine they managed their own celebrations.
