Here's what someone in the army thinks. taken from r/army.

Imagine the amount of time spent cleaning, painting, transporting and maintaining all the equipment for the parade. The hours and hours of pass & review practice. The time spent polishing and shining all the bits. The inspections. The re-inspections. The re-re-inspections. Everyone putting equipment on trains to get to DC, cramming into busses, sleeping on cots in some gymnasium while waiting for the trains to arrive.

Then you unload, clean the equipment again, re-polish everything, get inspected, inspected again, practice more and then, finally, its time For the parade.

Its hot, everything is a total cluster-fuck at the initial point of the parade route, you march, you get to the rally point and now you have to move all this shit back to base.

Back to the railhead, back on the busses, back to base and stand in line to turn in weapons. Wait a couple days and offload your equipment from the railhead, get it back to the motor pool and finally, youre done.

Oh yeah, you got to do this all on a holiday weekend youd normally have off and one day after the parade, the news cycle will move on and no one will remember it.
