Lol--not quite. Did you get that from Daily Caller? They aren't really known for telling the truth, you know. Schumer wasn't talking about showing off his 'big missiles' like inferiority-complex laden Trump.

Not even close. The right-wing media are such utter liars.

"...In April 2014, Schumer held a press conference to announce his proposal to hold a parade honoring Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans in New York City's "Canyon of Heroes," which hosted similar parades honoring Korean and Gulf War veterans in the 1990s.

New York City also hosted a victory parade after World War II."

"With the war in Afghanistan winding down, now is the time to keep with longstanding American tradition and kick off a campaign for the first New York City welcome home parade for troops that served in Iraq and Afghanistan," Schumer said in a statement. "In years past, we've honored our troops with a parade along the iconic 'Canyon of Heroes' route and those who served in these post-9/11 wars also deserve a hero's welcome — and New York is the only place to do that."...

Does everybody on the right take pride in being devoid of facts?

Parades honoring sexual deviance can take place and people get giddy. But a parade honoring and showcasing our military causes the snowflakes to melt and cry in their safe spaces. What a whackamole country we live in. Bring on the tanks, the foot soldiers and armored chariots!!!!

Well as long as they don't force the soldiers who have bone spurs to march I'm all for it.

When you find a gay pride parade sponsored by the USA, please feel free to criticize. Until then, it's apples and oranges.

As former military I say you first. If I were still in the last thing I would want to spend my off hours doing is practicing parade marching. Did that in boot camp and that was enough. You want to honor the military? Here is what you should do. Demand from your congressman and senator that more of the defense budget goes directly to those serving in the form of pay and benefits instead of the enormous waste that goes to defense contractors.

They make up their facts to suit their agenda,its called alt reality.
As for this military parade I thought America had more class and didn't need to resort to such vanity to please trumps ego. However if trump wants to play the tin pot dictator role i'm sure his cult will gladly part with their tax dollars to fund it.http://www3.dragndropbuilder.com/upl...88572_orig.png

I don’t think gay people are remotely deviant, but when they ask for over 15 million taxpayer dollars for a single parade for absolutely no reason at all, I’ll disagree with them, too.

This parade is not for the troops.
