This will only put a helluva scare and antagonize Kim Jong Un making it more difficult to negotiate with him diplomatically.

I heard fourth hand today that Trump wants military parades with forced attendance and if a person refuses, they are branded a traitor! Has anyone else heard this? O M G if this is true. Heil Hitler.
It was ignored because it was a troll post. Just like your OP.

Where did you hear the part about attendance being required? A little skeptical of this claim without some sources. But then again - with Trump nothing would really surprise me at this point.

You shouldn't need sources. Unless you, too, believe that attendance at a parade could in any way be "forced."

Crush your tin foil hats, people. You're sounding ridiculous.

Then US has even more reason to celebrate their military.

Maybe if something is superior they should be ashamed and hide, or go on apology tours for it.
That is why all kids get trophies, and people were happy the Patriots lost.

In Trump's America we do not need to feel ashamed of success.

France, Japan, Hillary, Obama. . . Trump is the president, not Emmanuel Macron or Hillary Clinton, as you and others have reminded us umpteen times. And we are not France or Poland, are we? This is the great country of the USA, and we have a narcissistic moron as POTUS.

Okay -- the forced attendance -- that's just crazy talk -- lol.

I think folks didn't respond in the other thread because whether or not you support a parade the whole notion of mandatory attendance seems ridiculous.

I really hope this is fake news. What a COLOSSAL waste of time, energy and money.

And yes, I would have said the same if Obama or any other American president wanted to engage in such trivialities.

He clearly hated the military. Now the morale is high. The new sheriff in town respects law and order and those that serve.

Talk about ignorant!
Can't properly debate the statement you quoted so you attack the poster for his/her inconvenient truths.
So typical.

You sure don't, as evidenced above.
That you would attack someone who served simply because they noted that DEMOCRATS do serve and love this country is about as far from supporting the military as one can get.

Disgusting.
