There are roughly 40, 000 homeless vets in America, forget the parade, let’s show real patriotism and use the money on our veterans.

Having been in the Military I know I was never "thrilled" at having to march in a parade.

[braixenboi]

We have around 600 billion dollars as a military budget...I think we can afford a

The logistics of this makes zero sense. The US military is spread out across the country. N. Korea, who we all know he is trying to show up, is about the size of what we call a state. Oh, and we aren't even comparable in size to N. Koreas military. It won't look as glorious as he thinks. Not to mention, who exactly is going to pay for this if he does do it?

[aaronschwark]

lets see... we have a 20 trillion dollar debt, and lets have a parade . wtf if we work on the debt now its going to take 200 years to fix no joke

Good to be proud again to serve in the USA military and I'm very proud of it and to see the military might with my eyes again.

[Jecoopster]

“They march well, we fight well” perfect!

Lets put America First (Not Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Israel, Afghanistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia)

I am a Trump fan and Republican. But we need to be more efficient with the money already given. US spends 600 Billion, China 150 Billion, Russia 70 Billion. No way other countries outclass us

[NationalistAF]

[KRJ]

We can give money to other countries, why not have a parade. We support our military.

[ericdavidson]

March em all down penn. ave. Hell yeah love our military. MAGA!

[theylied]

There Trump goes again with his Napoleon complex.

[dannyboi]

folks, the military parade will be a salute to Donald J Trump and not for the men and women who had served and currently serving in our military. That I can tell you.

[ME-fosi]

The parade is about bringing the country together, it’s about what you stand for. Strength and solidarity of the people protecting its foundations, it’s land, it’s common ground. Make no mistake it is the stuff you walk on ever day. So be proud of who you are and what you’ve gone through to become a people that has opened its arms to all who want Fredom. It’s who you are now and what you strive for.

[johnkoster]

Trump comes up with another stupid, childish idea. He sees Rocket mans military parades and he get jealous!

[stevenmorris]

When was the last time an army "marched" outside of basic training except for a damned parade. Marching is degrading and only exists to give the upper crust voyeurs a hard on. Ever seen a General or Admiral march?

[jeffa]

we haven't seen a military parade since the end of desertstorm and i love to see the us military in a parade
