| I love the stilted announcer. He sounds like he's carefully pronouncing a foreign language, which he is. Kimmie looks every bit the tinpot dictator while buzzing around on his little jeep. I bet Khadaffy's female guards can't goose-step like Kimmie's girls. Someone want to identify the various weapon systems on display? |

| #6 a bunch of 12.5 heavy machine guns mounted on the 50's version of a Soviet deuce and a half. In the begining looked like a few Grail rockets a couple of howitzers, then later lots of short range unguided artillery rockets. Some small 20 or 30mm anti aircarft stuff. What interesting is no air force fly over and no Armour or personnel carriers. Costa Rica could put on a better military parade. |

| #3 Ummm, tractors pulling hay wagons, war era Dodge(?) power wagons. Notice the civilians in the long street scenes are lined up 1 deep? Only the close shots have clusters. I also noticed some of the same outfits in the cluster shot cutouts. |

| #2 So, you are saying Kimmie's cuties are each carring a pair of Mark 36C bazookas as they march? ;-) |

| #1 Can't specifically ID the weapon systems (I'm an old ex-squid, not an army or marine type)...but except for the RPG's, most of the stuff looked like it was borrowed from these folks. As for Kimmie's goose-stepping cuties, I couldn't help but notice that a couple of the ladies out in front (the officers, presumably)...well...bounced about most entertainingly. |
