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 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.

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.
