On Twitter. The best response to let's have a military parade.

Other responses -

1. Cost of moving equipment and vehicles to DC - most heavy equipment outside of DC
2. Tearing up PA Ave asphalt
3. Rehearsing (both time and effort and fact will tear up more asphalt)
4. Military hate it - long days, lots of standing, walking, cleaning up equipment and uniforms.
5. Far better uses for money to show respect military

You mean Donny didn't like the Two Paraids he had on Inauguration Day and his Anniversary?

Not nearly big enough. See, that's what sucks about America. He can't order civilians to show up and make his parades look yuger than Obama's. But he's the CiC so he *can* order the military to do it.

Toxic is deflecting again to get the topic around to her as usual. Every time there is a march regarding some "liberal" cause, she's bitching about it. She was strangely silent, though, during the Teatard marches during the Obama administration. I wonder why *those* weren't a "waste"? lol

Good lord, do you have to turn every thread into a Top ranting hate fest? All you think about is Top.

So true -- we're in the class that's far ahead of yours. Oops.

Dem rep mocks Trump on military parade: His last one 'not very well attended'

A Democratic lawmaker on Tuesday mocked the idea of a military parade at the request of President Trump, suggesting last year’s inauguration event was “not very well attended.”

Link to tweet



Larsen included a photo from the president’s inauguration showing empty stands and a link to a USA Today article titled, “There were a lot of empty seats in the stands along Trump's parade route.”

The tweet followed a Washington Post report that said Trump asked the Pentagon to look into holding a military parade. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later confirmed that Trump requested the Defense Department “explore a celebration” for Americans to demonstrate their support for the military.

The subject of Trump’s inauguration crowd size became a thorn in the side of former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who in his first briefing from the podium insisted Trump had “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe.”



Ex-State Dept. spokesman: Military parade ‘is beneath us as a nation’


A former State Department spokesman and retired Navy Rear Admiral on Wednesday ripped President Trump’s request for the Pentagon to organize a military parade, calling it a “tremendously bad idea.”

This is not about showcasing our military. This is about the president showing off. This is all about his ego,” John Kirby said on CNN’s “New Day.”

The Washington Post reported Tuesday night that Trump has asked military officials to explore holding a celebration for Americans to show their appreciation for the armed forces.


Officials told The Washington Post that the concept is still in its early stages, but that the parade could cost millions of dollars.

Kirby, who served as State Department spokesman from 2015-2017, argued Wednesday that the event would be a waste of money and that the resources for a parade could be better spent elsewhere. He suggested spending money on operations, military training and spouse education programs instead.

I personally don't think we need a big military parade to show off our military prowess. The world already knows our military is at the top of the heap. I think about the hours that the lower ranks will have to put in to prepare and participate in this dog and pony show. As a young GI how badly I hated having to go on parade. A fly over is fine but let the lower ranks have a day off instead.

That she does my friend that she does. And if you disagree with her you instantly become obsessed in her words.

Kind of reminds me of the character in Catch 22 that was obsessed with parades.
Seems a little third Reich having a parade over nothing but to feed Trump's ego.

could have one to celebrate the defeat of ISIS
