The REASON other countries have these kinds of parades is because they have inferior militaries and want to seem big and scary. The most powerful country on earth doesn't need to have flashy pointless parades. This is unbelievably stupid.

Trump will do it for no other reason than his ego demands it.

The military should just refuse to participate to spite the fat ape.

I think having tanks and armed soldiers march down the streets may have the wrong visual impact that Trump wants. Im extremely pro-military, but the imagery is going to have the opposite appearance of freedom.

Though. What has Trump done of purposed that isn't a waste of money?

We have a president who thinks being president gives him a blank check.

That guy hit the nail right on the head. This is a stupid idea and a huge waste of money. And on top of everything, we're going to celebrating the weapons more than any soldiers.

This is nothing more than a petty show of force

Lol at the analyst. It's about boasting the strength of our military, there are holidays to celebrate individuals. Bombs are a huge factor to war efforts.

Not to mention RIP DC streets. Multiple tank treads? That'll seriously fuck up the roads.


i feel bad for the people who use those roads. how will they get to work if the roads are messed up.
commute is torture enough as it is with car.

Yeah, obviously you know better than somebody that actually served and knows his shit. The world already knows how much we overspend on our military. This is just a petty display of power that wreaks of fascism

Things were a lot different back then... There's no need for it now

Trump is literally taking tax payer dollars to praise himself and boost his ego and his supporters (who claim to be against government waste) are fine with it.

No, not in the current geopolitical climate. Other countries have been stepping all over us and pushing us around for some time now; Obama welcomed it and made us into a pushover nation. That's ending under Trump's rule and it's about time we put our military might on display and remind the rest of the world who's boss.

Perhaps it could be seen as a waste of money, but I think it could also unify our country. I dunno...I don't really care if it happens or not but you have to admit it would be interesting to see.

It's true though tbh

Hey, let's spend millions of tax dollars on a parade to show our citizens and the world that we have the best military even though everyone already knows we have the best military instead of, oh I don't know, helping the homeless veterans we claim to care so much for but clearly don't give a shit about.

Is it a waste of time and money? Yes, of course.

Is it MORE of a waste of time and money then half the crap the government does? Not really.

Imagine being in the military and having your day off ruined because Trump wanted to out parade France. The amount of time it's gonna take to move those weapons, especially on the damaged streets of DC is going to be an expensive pain in the ass for something so worthless and meaningless.

Okay, fine. Maybe the dictator part is a little bit overboard. The rest is true. Taxpayers paying for Trump to do something unnecessary, but we're used to that I guess.
