It isn't about parading our military around, it's about stroking Trump's massive ego so the little man can feel big on the world stage.

That's the beginning and the end of it.

And for that, our military will be forced to march before the King on what should be a holiday for them, and the taxpayers will be stuck with the $30 million bill.

It would be cheaper just to hire Stormy Daniels to jack him off. It accomplishes the same thing for a lot less money.

I love my country. I support our troops and I honor those who didn't make it home. That said, I do not want $20,000,000 of our tax dollars spent on a friggin' military parade.

How many homeless veterans would $20,000,000 feed?

What if $20,000,000 was donated to the biggest veteran suicide programs?

I suggest a copy of Red Square and a viewing stand atop a replica Lenin’s Tomb in downtown DC for Trump and other members of America’s Politburo to view the passing armed forces. I understand Putin will be Grand Marshall and Mattis the new General Zhukov.

Look at the countries who DO have this type of parade, do we really want to be one of them?

I think not.

He wants his big parade with a big picture of him hanging from the White House while troops go goose-stepping by as he waives at them from the balcony with full military regalia.

That is his dream anyway.

We don't. What Mr. Trump wants is still up for debate at this point, I believe.

Trump probably considers those suffering from PTSD as losers, so why waste money on them?

The Führer, on the other hand, needs his goosestepping parade. This is important, people!

And those vets have outlived their usefulness, anyway. Who needs 'em?

We don't need military parade. The world already knew we have the best military. We are not little insecure countries (not going to name names, but you know which countries I am talking about.)
The parade is not for the world.
