I don't understand what a ground based military parade in DC would accomplish tbh. I assume a show of power?

Wouldn't an aerial and naval showing be more suited since that's where our military actually shines?
---

I don't really know what to say other than it's really sad some people are cheering for this simply because it might make some people mad. Not in favor of it because they have friends/family serving or whatever, just that it might make liberals mad. I actually pity them.

I am happy with my president being a wannabe dictator and wasting our money away for no reason other than his obvious insecurities and lust for power if it makes the liherals mad xD

We should ignore those who are mad about this.

Better to "waste" it uplifting us than to actually waste it providing for illegals.

Nobody said anything about illegals lol. You seem like the type who has to wipe spittle from the corner of your mouth when speaking about any immigration.

Can't wait

Trump knows this will help prove a point about his opposition. They've been conditioned to view the U.S. with contempt.

Keep raging at the military that protects your nation. It helps our cause.

The joke just keeps getting funnier.

If you don't see him as a clear-cut and flagrant fascist at this point you are either willfully ignorant and you are an absolute fucking idiot. Everyone defending should take a long look in the mirror and think about how they got to this point, how they got to be this incredibly goddamned stupid.

You're putting more thought into this than Trump has. He just saw Paris do their parade, thought it was cool, and wants to one up them.

The best part is he obviously doesn't know what the parade was for. You know, Bastille Day, considered a turning point of the French Revolution when the poor underclass rose up to kill the rich.

I think it says a lot about the state of our country that our leaders would rather sink money into distractions than do something productive. I dont think its an inherently bad idea, I just dont see what the point is other than temporarily boost morale and give disgruntled people something to feel proud of

But we could also try doing something about the country
---

Im getting tired of saying this...

That doesnt sound fascist at all.
---

The horror! Doesn't he know our service men and women only belong on the streets after they leave the army?

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.

Their job isn't to get paraded around in front of Dear Leader to appease his ego.

Is anyone even in doubt about the strength of the US military to begin with?

This topic is just another brilliant example of how CE's Trump supporters are literal trolls who are just in it to get a rise out of CE's left.

Weak leader needs vindication. Trump is so fucking pathetic. Like everything else in his like a tremendous waste of money to pretend he has a big dick. Cant wait for him to be finished.

Can you imagine if Obama had wanted a show of force?

The martial law conspiracy theory that Obama wouldn't give up the Presidency would've been ratcheted up to eleven

LMAO this will trigger so many people

It's a waste of taxpayer money.

Tbh its no more of a waste of taxpayer money to have them roll around the streets of DC in a parade than it would be to ship them off somewhere around the world and blow up brown people for no reason.

I mean, yeah, its incredibly telling that Trump wants to do a parade, but Im not entirely against letting him feed his own stupid ego if it can be leveraged into something materially good for the rest of the country/world.

Oh lord. Who cares one way or the other? Have a military parade. Don't have a military parade. It doesn't matter in the slightest.

Troll hates free speech, news at 11.

Threatening to overthrow President Trump is not protected speech.

Protesting =/= threatening to overthrow the president

Or would you prefer people that protested Obama be jailed, too?

No, I don't like Obama.

I have a friend who is outrageously mad about this and i asked him... Why? What's wrong with a parade honoring our forces?

And he says we already have Veterans, Memorial, and Independence Day. Plus if he really wants to honor them he can go to Afghanistan like Obama did!

So... You want him to do the same thing Obama did, and because he have holidays honoring fallen soldiers and old vets and the signing of our independence, we can't have a parade celebrating our current forces? It's madness that libs are freaking out about this.

Did your friend say that or did a strawman say that?

My friend really said that. I hadn't even talked to him in a couple months and he popped up to ask me about this because he acted like it was so insane and how could anyone defend it!!! I read it and I was like... really?

Well we already have days set aside for that.

Plus it's a lot of wasted time and money.

Of course the Trump-gugglers are okay with this.

What is "the point about his opposition" that he's trying to make? The idea of a military parade is scoffed at by people along the whole political spectrum, not just one side.
