Have you noticed a lot of us vets on this thread are blowing a raspberry at the idea? Does that tell you anything?
Now you bring that up ... has there been even one vet on this thread that supports the parade? ... how about even one that likes this Chump guy at all?
I don't know how America selects parade soldiers, but in other western countries they are usually 6'-6'2 tall, under 25 years old, and fit. I don't qualify either.
So in other words....you know nothing about the subject you're lecturing those of us who have 'been there, done' that are arguing against.
Allow me to give you a clue as to which U.S. Soldiers can march: I'm a five-foot seven female. I have done ceremonial duties with other soldiers who ranged from shorter than me (including a 4 foot 11 inch high female--the shortest height, if I recall correctly, for a woman to join the U.S. Army) to six-foot-plus soldiers. Male and female. Anywhere from 18 to 38 (and possibly even older) years of age.
So you qualify. Heck, we even let non-Americans sign up--I went through basic with a woman from Northern Ireland and served at a PDS with a Panamanian national who was wearing our uniform. So get thyself to the nearest recruiter's office and sign your name on the line. You have no excuses.
Will there be a swimsuit competition? Better lock the dressing room doors if so.
ROFLMMFAO ... say, just a thought (and not a pretty one ... the visual is causing me agita) ... if the swimsuit competition featured the chubby Chumpster himself in a Speedo ... might be the ratings bonanza he covets, eh? I mean, not to be outdone by Vladimir and all ...
Well, it looks like DC is out (thank you, Mayor Bowser). Maybe Trump could have a parade in his hometown. I'm sure he could gather up enough alt-right wackos and snake handling bible thumpers to have a nice little parade down Astoria Boulevard in Queens.
France does it every year. China does it every 5 years or so.
It is a good way to unite people and demonstrate military power.
Only the weak need to visibly demonstrate their 'power'. Strong is silent.
