I have a DD214.

But, I know if it happens, I'll be watching a bunch of dudes cursing the event.

War Victory Parades are a completely different animal.



The French one is annual. Just curious, what military victory did you think the French were celebrating?

Yeah, because communists don't do military parades at all:





Seriously, aside from mass graves, there's nothing communists love more than a good old military parade.

I was referring to the American photos.

The only thing the French defeated was anyone racing them away from the front lines.

On Veteran's Day, there is nothing I'd rather do more as a veteran than to sit on my arse for one day and have the day off. The last thing I'd want to be doing on the planet is marching on Capitol Hill.

Lighten up Francis. It's a parade. It has value like any parade has value.

It makes people happy.

What other useful purpose is there for 99% of the other parades held each year around the country?

This parade would be way better than all of those.

Not surprised one bit why the Child in Chief wants a parade.

Cadet Bone Spurs/Agent Orange needs to act tough.

Water is wet.

Generally, they are community events where the people being targeted for "happiness" are the viewers.

As a military guy, I can tell you that the whole, "let's celebrate you by making YOU march down the road 5 miles on what normally would be your day off" has always been a bit of comedy.

You want to celebrate me when I was in? Good. Let my arse sit on the road side while thousands of CIVILIANS march down the street chanting how great I am.

It's like saying a kids birthday party is pointless because it has no useful value.

It's incredibly short sighted. Sometimes people just want to do and see things that make them feel good, feel patriotic, or be appreciated.

Why do some have to be so cold and utilitarian about everything? Relax a little.

So to thank our military, we're going to make them work on a holiday and weekend?



Those of you who haven't been in the military just don't understand what a HUGE clusterfrick it is for even Brigade size event.

I can't even fathom the levels of suck that are going to occur for a national-level parade in DC.
