The military parades I've seen in the US are all related to memorials. There are as many elderly men riding in old convertible Cadillacs as there are active troops. Weapons are mostly limited to ceremonial rifles. Where we love our shows of power is flying military jets over sporting events. They'll even do it when the event is indoors for the benefit of those at home. It's presumably yet more social engineering, that the military is a team we should all blindly cheer for in every circumstance.
