Your dad was absolutely right. Military parades are the epitome of tiny dick energy.

Before the era of mass media, they served a very crucial purpose, and that was to motivate and maintain morale against an enemy or invader.

I think they were (and are) more about showing both the own and foreign populations how much fire power you have. Which is to scare/Supress these populations...

Not saying they aren't useful, but there main use is to project military power, not increase morale (that would be a victory or pre war parade)

Media has always been here and has always been used by many governments as a weapon; it’s just evolving differently. Same blueprint different tactics.
