Yes and no. First off if it is anything to do with a war then I am in support of say vets and soldiers parading in uniform and medals. Imagine being a surviving member of the Armed Forces after WW2 walking through your town/city!?

Conversely my first wife's younger brother wanted me to be in a parade as a Star War person. I refused no problem. The rest of the family all got dressed up looking like idiots. I remember seeing an Easter parade in Spain in the 1950's. Somehow that was more impressive even at a young age.
