Janissary style snare drums and cymbals. And rad snorkles on the amphibious unit.

What do you mean? All I can see at 1.10 is some normal looking soldiers on BMP-1s.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I meant 1 hour and 10 minutes, not one minute and ten seconds.

Missus can’t remember ever seeing a military parade in Cambodia. First one for her. Supposedly at military headquarters, somewhere far away from the city center. Also supposedly every major military unit is represented (at least according to the loudspeaker).

Even the Bokotor unit had a demonstration. Complete with being hit (and bending) metal poles.
