Why the title "outrageous"?

Military Ceremonies, showcasing....the military.

Because it far beyond the typical military ceremony by a substantial margin and it is actually well coordinated considering the bitterness between the two sides.

I can not think of a military ceremony anywhere near as outrageous especially not one that involves two nations that are almost constantly on the verge of warfare.

Also this ceremony is clearly saber rattling did you even see how into it the crowds got? Maybe you should watch it again.

Outrageous: Wildly exaggerated or improbable.

Grammar Nazi did not have a problem with the title.

Sure, i get that. Outrageous is probably not a word that i would have used though. Just my opinion, not a criticism.

Sure did, and the 'saber rattling' part of the title i never questioned.

Nope, i doubt it would change my mind.

Thanks for the definition, i don't know how to take that to be honest.
What it also means, and you failed to lecture or educate me on the other definitions of outrageous are: violent or unrestrained in behaviour or temperament, grossly offensive to decency, authority, being or having the nature of an outrage, of or involving gross injury or wrong, grossly offensive to the sense of right or decency, violent in action or temper, well, you get the idea.
I really don't mean to be sarcastic or condescending here, sir, just had a question re the thread title and queried it.
I hope you still see it as that after this reply.

Of course he didn't, since Grammar Nazi knows that outrageous was spelled correctly.

I will now prove that my silly walks are sillier than your silly walks!

So there!

Really, though, this is how conflicts should be resolved.
