What an absolutely pleasant thought. Do go on...

Many revolutionists got killed too. It takes lives to end monarchy.

Trump has not demanded there be a military parade. No proof of this was ever presented by WaPo.

You are going to wear yourself out defending this man.

It is a good way to unite people and demonstrate military power.

Have you noticed a lot of us vets on this thread are blowing a raspberry at the idea? Does that tell you anything?

It does not matter much.

I recall when Beijing bid for the Olympic Games, many Chinese people complained (waste of money, useless, etc.)
However when the time came everyone sincerely wanted it to succeed. Many people are just used to complaining to show their "wisdom".

not at all. your feelings don't say a thing about those currently serving or your fellow vets. you are one person.

Negative people are everywhere, and they don't matter. They want to achieve nothing.

Nonsensical and a non-sequitur. But carry on.

So how 'bout you sign up and *you* march in the parade then?
