re: By the way. The Parade is a HORRIBLE idea

Really? Regardless of who tells us?

This is America.
Nobody tells us anything. We argue amongst ourselves. We decide for our selves. We chose to parade or not.

Every country’s military parades Nancy. The good, the bad, the strong, and the weak parade. They parade today and tomorrow. They have paraded for millennia. Americans then and now parade.

I’m detecting a lot of anti American military in many of these no parade posts. Don’t know about you Nancy.

Is a pic of you?

Back off Nancy! I’m spoken for!

Mardi Gras parades are a drunken orgy. Hardly military grade.

Most aren’t drunk. And unfortunately the orgies are rare and private. The military units marching and playing are very military grade from USA, USN, USMC, USAF, and USCG. I’ll fess up. Some of the really young JrROTC units need work.

OK, so lets try to bring the swastika back. Hey, historically it means "good luck", so frick the Nazis for stealing that. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams didn't have a problem with swastikas.

You actually fell into a point here. Frick the Nazis! They don’t deserve to steal the symbol of people of the world. I saw the “V for Victory” hand symbol changed by hippies into a “Peace Sign”. It could be done.

Who cares if we're sending off a despotic message

Again I’m picking up anti American military vibrations from you!

I suggest we do what we want to do regardless of who agrees or disagrees.

I’m glad we can end on a high note of agreement!
