The Canadian military is scrambling to explain why a group of soldiers was issued weapons to march in a Toronto parade on Sunday for Canada's Sikh community. Photos and videos of the event show the soldiers, many of them turban-wearing Sikhs, marching in the Khalsa parade in military uniforms and carrying assault rifles, which the military says is not normally allowed. The military could not immediately say whether a formal investigation or disciplinary action had been launched. Personally, I believe if this was a group of white soldiers, people who don't look different, it wouldn't have been an issue. - Balpreet Singh BoparaiHeld to commemorate the Sikh holy day of Vaisakhi, the annual Khalsa parade in Toronto has grown over the years to become one of Canada's largest such events, with an estimated 100,000 attendees.
