Figured I'd throw liberals a bone here.

Yup. I said it.

Horrible idea. I can think of no useful purpose for it. It's a waste of money. And, speaking for those who will be stuck marching in it, I can guarantee you that 90% of them would rather dig their eyes out with a spoon.

Yeah, but it’ll be a cool photo op for Cadet Bone Spur

I don’t think it a good idea either. And I like Trump. Big waste of MONEY.

It's cringe worthy. Really dumb.

Agreed...serves no purpose. I always thought those parades were cheesy. It's a "look at me" thing for countries who have something to prove. We do not.

It is a horrible idea. One can like Trump and still disagree with some of his decisions. I mean, it's not like we are liberals and have to follow marching orders.

Awful idea.

We are America. We don't need military parades like the North Koreans and the French.

It’s a bad idea in a vacuum...but when you consider progs are going to way overreact and lose their shite...I’d say it’s a good idea

Anything that pushes the media and democrats into showing people who they are and what they’re really about is a good idea

this has nothing to do with trump or any political party or a photo opt. its a way to say thank you to our military. it has been suggested they might do it annually each year on veterans day.

the parade is a way to honor and celebrate the military for all they do for us. a day to come out and thank and cheer them for the sacrifice they make to keep us all safe

anyone who cant get behind supporting and celebrating our military can just go frick themselves

Not morally opposed to it. There is a tradition for it.

Quote:
Although John Adams was the first president to occupy the executive mansion, it was Thomas Jefferson who established the traditions of a July 4th celebration at the White House or President's House as it was called in his time. Jefferson opened the house and greeted the people along with diplomats, civil and military officers, and Cherokee chiefs in the center of the oval saloon under Gilbert Stuart's famous portrait of George Washington. Jefferson also added music to the celebration. The Marine Band, already "The President's Own," played in the Entrance Hall performing "The President's March" and other "patriotic airs."

The north grounds of the President's Park—the "common"—came alive at daybreak with the raising of tents and booths, soon followed by crowds of people. A festival took place just for the day. Food and drink and cottage goods of all types were sold. There were horse races and cockfights and parades of the Washington Militia and other military companies. End quote. whitehousehistory.org

Notice Marine Band, Washington Militia and other military companies parading.

But it appears that the majority is against it, and he is now a politician. It won’t happen unless public perception changes.

Why should the Germans get the good stuff.

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.
