Kind of seems dictatory, but I've been to Bastille Day and watched it from the Arc De Triomphe. It was impressive to say the least, so I see where Trump got the idea from and why it could be a good idea to try it at least once. Maybe once a decade do it.

That's the point. Don't make a habit of it. I'd be fine trying it in 2020 and then 2030, with decade breaks, but certainly not annually. Could be fun if done right.

Military parades are for TTT countries with insecurity issues. We need a parade of young, middle-class professionals carrying full bags of groceries. That'll really get North Korea's goat.

A military parade isn't necessary when you have the strongest military in the world.

I'd be fine with it if they'd have it somewhere like Salt Lake City or some other city out west. Don't do it in DC.

Compromise? Do flyovers for NFL games again.

Win-Win. Kneelers have to view that awesome shite, and for everyone else, that shite is awesome.
