Should We Be Afraid of China's Military?
The People's Liberation Army held a gigantic military parade on July 30 in Inner Mongolia.
Well, it's more than meets the eye. Xi Jinping has carefully orchestrated various aspects of the parade to push one message internationally, and another to his potential enemies within the CCP.

Again a great episode, but just one remark. Around 4:09, when you inform us about the $18,000 worth of gear of the average US soldier, you're actually showing British soldiers with an L86A2 rifle, topped with an Elcan 4x LDS and I think what looks like an EOTech holo sight on top of the Elcan for close-in engagements. I'm not going to elaborate on the vest, helmet etc. :-P
Sorry about that. I blame Getty Images, which definitively labeled them as US soldiers.
