Embarrassing is you seeing nothing wrong with squandering millions of dollars to stroke a narcissist's fragile ego while there are record numbers of homeless vets living on the streets and the VA is underfunded.
At least you should be embarrassed, but I doubt you will be.
VA underfunded? the annual budget for the VA is 180 billion. It has 377,805 employees. Net program costs for the department were $273 billion, which includes VBA Actuarial Cost of $106.5 billion for compensation benefits. The long-term actuarial accrued liability (total estimated future payments for veterans and their family members) is $2.491 trillion for compensation benefits; $59.6 billion for education benefits; and $4.6 billion for burial benefits. (the Fiscal year 2016).
We have the world's greatest tanks and missile lauchers, but I think the money would be better spent on functioning small arms and body armor for the guys that are putting their lives on the line.
Some people are more about boasting, dictatorship-style shows of power, and pissing off the libs, I guess.
who cares, nothing wrong with a parade it's not like this happens every year, or every 5 years, or heck even 20 years.
People are going nuts over this just because they hate Trump. Pick your battles, you sound like petulant little children
While this is true....think about "why" Trump wants to do it....and especially coming from a party that claims we have no money to go around for anything.

The military doesn't want it, vets have come out firmly against it, and it would be a waste of millions of taxpayer dollars. All to feed a narcissist's ego.
There is a petulant little child in this scenario, and he is sitting in the White House, demanding his ego be continuously stroked.

People are disliking this idea because Trump is turning into a little tinpot dictator who needs shows of military might to stroke his colossal ego, i'll bet he would love to have the unbridled power Kim Jong Un has, just do anything he pleases with no legal systems to get in the way.
Its funny reading the first few pages where the trump supporters try and trash the people reporting it, the anonymous sources, and that Trump wouldnt do it.
Then later its confirmed...and they try and defend it.
