President Donald Trump’s Proposed Military Parade Gets Mixed Reaction | NBC Nightly News

Some call a military parade a show of might, some call it a show of appreciation to those that served, opinions will always be divided...

[ardentizzy]

It’s very strange how trump is supportive of the military now and yet when he had the chance to do his own military service he was a five times draft dodger ?

[drewbstudios]

There is a difference between having a parade because your national mood is one of pride in accomplishments that recently involved the military vs having a parade to just show off the toys of the military. This would be the latter.

[jvmalum]

Oh wow! This is what I call real news. Something Trump proposed is getting mixed reactions. This is truly a first. Thank you nbc for this very enlightening journalism. Your starting to run a very close second to cnn 😒

[epicOway]

YEah I'm not with this. Seems like a massive waste of money. Is a parade what we really need? I'm a veteran but this is unnecessary....

[ladydeath]

A military parade is not patriotic at this point..using the money that would be waisted on having trump play with his " toys" to help veterans would be the patriotic thing to do

[ritalebron]

This parade is great. It's about our Pesident who loves our country and honors the military. Our military it's on the battlefield with their lives on the line daily.. God Bless our President and our military. Should have a parade like this on Memorial Day.

[danielspillett]

so are they calling france a dictatorship for having a military parade and what about us brits and the changing of the guard

[DORIANoFILMS]

A Parade it's a Honor to the President and the Troops of United State of America but it's "not a show off in arms like other communist countries.Airplanes flying over that's fine, but ridicules tanks and missiles. those are 3rd countries crummy parade.

[BizneZBuddY]

That Military should arrest Trump instead.

[ibraklay]

*Trump is imitating Kim Joung Un his role model*

[diesellover]

Wow now that would be awesome it’s about time to be proud of what we have America

[eokii]

There's a difference.

France has military parades to honor their troops and commemorate the founding of the French Republic.

Trump wants a military parade to honor himself and give himself and ego boost (kinda like what Saddam Hussein, Ferdinand Marcos or Kim Jong Il did).

[nannunbgd]

Is a good ideea! Is abbaut identity, pride, honor and power! So is a good ideea. Romania dont have US mony, and doing this year by year.

[bichhuonglove]

please your weapons is out date. don't make the world laugh.

[sooowavy]
