Myanmar's large-scale military parade today could be a warning of attacks from opposing forces. This year's parade is scheduled to be held in the evening, and there is a growing view that they are wary of attacks.
Since last fall in Myanmar, the military has been exposed to offensives by pro-democracy forces and ethnic minority armed groups. Analysis shows that the number of military personnel in the country has decreased by about 20,000 compared to before the coup. Young people in Myanmar have rebelled against the military and joined pro- democracy forces.
