Might be a 'right principle, wrong execution' kind of thing.

Reading that is actually what inspired me to search this old beast up again!

The idea was, plop a missile launcher up there and you could get some truly ludicrous range out of it and even fire from cover. Basic idea was sound, but it came with so many problems (speed, mechanical failure, the launcher being an obvious target) that they eventually gave up on it entirely.

Extendable arm with a missile launcher!

Was it supposed to be a symbol of national unity? It seems more like a humiliation, considering that at the time Geronimo was still quite infamous.

I'm not well-informed on the parade myself, just seems odd to include Geronimo as a uniting symbol at the time.

The lance is actually interesting too - it's not traditional, not a wooden pole with a metal head. It's all-metal - a hollow tube of rolled steel.

There are definitely WW1 horse gas masks out there, I'll see if I can dig a good one up.

Your source kinda says the opposite of what your title says. Different name, was arrested this time for raping a kid, not sentenced for death but committed suicide and even showing that while “sodomy” was illegal you would not get the death penalty for it.

Chinese society towards homosexuality, it was concluded that the level of acceptance was high and discrimination It is not common. For example, Zhang Zaizhou's book "The Ambiguous Process" refined China's attitude towards homosexuality into the word "ambiguous". But this was not the case after 1949. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, homosexuality was regarded as a "feudal remnant" and was eradicated from China's public discourse space along with polygamy, prostitution and other unmarried and abnormal sexual behaviors. Records of homosexuality during the Mao era are sparse and fragmented. At the same time, relevant agencies also began to persecute anyone who participated in homosexual behavior. Participants in homosexual behavior were accused of sodomy or hooliganism. It is not uncommon to see situations similar to those of Chen Baoping, Zhu Shouqing, and Zhu Zhenhua in the files I have seen. Some people were shot for anal sex. Zhu Zhenhua, who is kneeling in the top picture, has a cross on his name. This cross may represent a personal insult to the prisoner, or another possibility is that the cross was placed on his name only when he was executed.

"Hans, you know how the modern battlefield has machine guns, quick-firing rifles, chemical gas, and long-range artillery? We're going to need you to charge into the guys firing those. On a horse. With a pointy bit of metal. While half-blind from your mask."

Normally, yes, but these ones are all metal - hollow steel tubes. First and last of their kind!

This gimmick is both gross and impractical.

Those are the best kinds of gimmicks, though

It's a shame they probably demolished it in some lame, practical way when it was replaced, because seeing that going down by dynamite would have been cinematic as fuck.

Mm. By 1910, payments for remission of serfdom had ended, and mining is generally not what people move on to when they have a reasonable choice. For that matter, they may only be mining as a supplement to their farmwork, as many pre-modern populations did.

Not sure. One imagines they're at least somewhat effective to have been in use for so long.
