I thought the USA had grown up & realized it didn't have to do that kind of grand standing -- guess not.

Wonder how much a parade costs -- remember you conservatives love those crumbs - wouldn't the crumbs a parade would cost be better spent...on....maybe....the VETS....lol.

And yes the irony of a President who made sure he didn't even have to take a desk job in the military wanting to brag about the American military

He wants us to think it is HIS military -- it isn't -- it is OUR military.....

All insecure fascists love a good military parade to show off how powerful they perceive themselves to be.

If Trump has his "parade" next up will be the aviator glasses, military cap and uniform and a bunch of medals pinned to his chest before he dissolves Congress. The Trumpers will finally have their wish of a military state with one media.

Exactly. Take all of those millions of dollars it would take to stage his big military parade and put it towards the VA instead.

Nah...what pride and over-compensation would Chief Little Hands get out of that?

This is solely about Trump's jealousy and envy, not his patriotism or wish to honor our armed forces.

The United States of American is not France, nor were either World War fought on American soil. While our armed forces also have a history of courage in action, we have never been a militaristic society and our people have traditionally focused on the future while continuing to honor what's honorable about our past.

To have a big hunkin' military parade here, now, for no other reason than to boost Trump's already immense ego, should be unthinkable, and he should be advised of its inadvisability. Perhaps he has been...
I see, henceforth, The COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the greatest military on earth will absolutely not be allowed to hold a parade to show Americans that he wants to honor them...because hateful bitter liberals dont want him to because it might make him look good...got it.

Trump's "jealousy" and "envy"? Jealous of whom? Envious of whom? France? What the hell are you babbling about?

In whole it is really scary for humankind how easy it is to write a fake article with no facts and no links to witness', and some humans run with it.
Truly scary to be walking the earth with them.
