Obviously, you didn't understand my post. The purpose of the parade is not to convince Americans of anything but to deter Iran and NK from acquiring nukes. What happened to Democrats so that they can now only think about President Trump?In other words, you don't like it but you don't know why.Great soundbite, but stupid. After eight years of Obama no one believes the US has the will or character to use force in any situation, so the purpose of the parade is to show America's enemies, Iran and NK, that Trump's America does in the same terms these two countries understand. Obama left a lot of damage to America's reputation that President Trump has to repair in a hurry. An aggressive display of our military strength might just help keep us out of war."Confidence is silent and insecurity is loud."

Let that be that.
This comment is stupid and wrong.
I know why.

Hyperbole. Maybe 30+% of the country believes this. Minority opinions are usually grossly misinformed.

Horseshit.

War mongering is the last refuge of scoundrels.
Maybe it isn't showing it off to the other countries but a chance for our own citizens to admire our people in the uniform.
Surely, given all the opportunities and places around the U.S. in which one can do exactly that, you jest? In addition to all these and more extant and recurring opportunities to do exactly that:Maybe it isn't showing it off to the other countries but a chance for our own citizens to admire our people in the uniform.

That would be but a handful of the places where Americans can go to "admire our people in uniform." Here is an even more comprehensive list:
People expect a parade to honor the team that wins a football game but it can't have a parade honoring those that fight and put their life on the line for us? Surely, you jest.
Jackson, please....
You don't force the winners of the superbowl to go and handwash their uniforms and the uniforms of others and polish their helmets and shoes, and polish the helmets and shoes of others, and then practice for hours on end marching in lock step, and then have them hand carry an entire football field and goal posts on their back to Washington DC,
for a march that is suppose to celebrate, themselves...
Others put on parades to celebrate the winners
The winners are never forced to put a lot of very hard work, in to a parade for themselves.

why? we pay 143 million for illegal aliens to attend our schools, our hospitals get our handouts. and you're now worried about money? too funny.Its a waste of time and money.
I don't have to.You might want to check with our troops in Afghanistan about that.We've kicked ISIS's butts.....so the guys that did it deserve a parade.Trump tells Pentagon to plan a military parade - CNNPolitics

Come on, even you nutty right wingers can't possibly be OK with this.
Correction:

Obama never was a legitimate president to so does not count.
As to Kennedy....
Is he not a prime example of white privilege run amuck?
How privileged one must be to have one's brains blown out in front of one's wife while she and one ride through the streets of Dallas, TX? If that be any part or parcel of the white privilege "run amuck" from which Kennedy benefitted, I dare say few of any race want it. I sure will forgo the coin, commendations, courtesans, coterie of companies, clubs and cottages, preferring to them my intact cranium.As to Kennedy....Is he not a prime example of white privilege run amuck?

Just answering her in kind.Terrifying, truth be told.We have supposedly won the war against ISIS. We are vacating Iraq. We don't have a need to pull out the military equipment, work up the American people into a militaristic frenzy. A military parade without all the toys is fine with me. I find parades boring, anyway, but a lot of people like them and there's nothing wrong with honoring our military. JUST leave the tanks home.
Work the American people into a militaristic frenzy?
Holy fuck.
Your brain must be a scary place.
How you can't see what is in front of your nose is amazing. You are being led. Wake up!
You're being hyperbolic...a left loon trait
It's a freaking parade...untwist your bloomers
