And what if Obama had proposed this? I’m willing to bet you’d be against it calling the President an Authoritarian narcissist, and you’d be right to do so.


We all know that Obama would never ever think of honoring the US military much less spend his time at a parade for them.

I’m completely opposed to this as an American, and the troops are probably even more against it.

I guarantee you the troops hate to parade.

Maybe you could loan one of them your furry costume to wear when they march in the parade.....

Well why don’t we ask them instead of relying on what you pull out of your arse?

This is such a waste of money.

Trump saw the Bastille Day parade and decided that he had to one up Macron. That's all this boils down to.

I love the idea, but alas at the same times, Veterans around the country now realize they will be working on Veteran's day :/

Perhaps you should do what you're told by the CIC.... as an enlisted you should know your role

On Veterans Day? It sucks for the people that have to be in it. All for trump to glorify himself.

Nah, man. Soldiers love dropping what they're doing to spend multiple 10 hour days practicing synchronized walking in a field or hot parking lot.

It will serve as a forum for massive protests. Buckle the frick up.

That doesn't mean people want to be in the parade or waste the time for a dog and pony show.


Thank you for your service.

A question with no intention of offense- in military history have a serviceman or woman’s orders ever been subject to their individual convenience and preference?

How about you suck a dick

With out the enlisted personnel esp the NCOs the military would come to a complete stand still.

Good quality officers actually listen to their enlisted folks and shoot their concerns up the chain of command.

I'm not in the military so I can't speak to the pain in the arse this parade may be, but my main issue with the parade is that it conjures up images of China and the Soviet Union. I don't get the point.

Hadn’t thought about it. November is a great time of year in DC.

This is probably the fourth or fifth thread on this parade. It's been fun watching the pro-parade crowd's position devolve from "this parade will be great for morale" to "you enlisted worms just need to shut the frick up and do your job".

I love our military but this is stuff dictators do and I rather spend that money to help out veterans in the VA.
