True enough.

Look, if you want to have this parade then go have it. It won't make a major difference overall.

The only thing you should consider is that America has evolved since the WWII era. People, in general, are way more cynical. Patriotism can come in many forms. But the question is if Trump is doing this because he really loves his armed forces or is he doing this to show-off as escapism from domestic problems.

You know what would be VERY patriotic and conservative. End American involvement in the ME. Leave some tactical operations, but announce that the US needs to focus on its own borders and security and that anyone who thinks of striking us will pay dearly.
