re: #43 Shiplord Kirel
Not sure what it has to do with anything, but I ran across this astonishing video of a Chilean military parade in 1992, complete with a rousing rendition of Preussens Gloria. You may not know the title, but you’ll recognize the music as well as a few other things in the video. Again, this was in 1992.

Since noone apparently looked at this, I probably should have spelled out what I found interesting. The Chilean army, today, looks like a re-creation of Hitler’s Wehrmacht, complete with WW2 style German coal scuttle helmets and uniforms and even a lot of goose stepping. I realize that these people are not Nazis, at least most of them are not, but you would think democratic Chile might be a little more sensitive to some of the associations that come with their Prussian military tradition.
