I dunno, yeah? There should be a reason and it should be handled properly in my perfect world as I suggested, but if it isn't, then what? Americans get to see a bunch of cool military shit? Foreign countries probably see more of our military equipment than we do, I hope they do an air show for us too

This just seems so weird and random and there seems to be no rationale. He never served in the military but want to a military academy for grade schooling (and maybe for high school as well).

Eh, in my opinion, air shows are kind of boring to watch. I would rather be flying those planes than watching them on the ground.

Maybe one after the ending of the Gulf War but want would it look like? All I have to go by are those old pictures and videos of dictatorships having their military parades. I have seen these old films but what would an American one look like?

Sure. You're just asking questions.

That's why you keep comparing the US military to communist dictatorships. You're just asking questions.



2016,



I hope he announces a mandatory draft at the damn thing.

Having thousands of troops march past saluting him would massage his fragile ego but I don't think that should necessarily be a reason not to respect the sacrifices the armed forces have made while serving their country. I suppose it would depend on his true motives for suggesting it in the first place.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Private school. Most of those academies are eighth grade to graduation

Yes, we should support the troops but there are many other ways we can do that. I mean we already have holidays to recognized their service/sacrifice but we can probably do so much more. Like fix the VA, or maybe have more mental health programs available for vets, etc... A parade sounds so useless and a waste of taxpayers money, IMO.

Nope. Not even one run by Vietnam vets. Still. You get the taste for it. I'm not surprised he's a big fan of the military really. The military is implicitly White. He's a White Nationalist getting ready to hold a fascist parade. Best timeline.

Edit: just realized his DI's would have been WWII and Korean vets. Fucking based
