You realize that it's Trump that looks the fool most days, and not just to people in this country, but all over the world. He's the laughingstock of the political world. Probably on par with Kim Jung Un. --not op |
I for one would love to see the troops honored with a massive military parade. I bet the dcum crowd would piss their Depends tho. |
I have no problem with honoring the troops. But this wasn't about honoring the troops. It was about Trump's ego. |
You seem confused. We already have lots of parades involving our troops going on for the 4th of July, for Veterans Day, for Memorial Day, et cetera. This wasn't for that. It was for Trump's inauguration. |

I'm going to ignore the hurt your words caused me, given the amount that my children and I have invested in supporting my spouse in following his dream, to serve our nation militarily. However, I agree with you. I am clearly speaking about my feelings and am curious what my spouse thinks. He is away from home (shocking) but I'll let you know what I hear back. I'm always curious if he has a different perspective and it would be interesting to know. If he changes my mind, I'm open to it. BTW I would love for there to be a veterans parade in DC for the last ten years of war. However, my read is that this parade is a show of military might, not that recognition. My father always said the best brands don't advertise, and I think of our military in that way. The people who need to see our hardware and finesse , the enemy, will see it for a moment. Again, I am not against educating the public about the military, welcome home parades and specific tours and shows of tech-but a massive show of hardware and troops down mass Ave. Seems sort of odd to me. Do you think the American people require this review, and if so why? Also, how would it bolster the military mission? I am receptive if you have a view that differs from mine. |
. You and every spy in the world ..... |
Your father is a man of wisdom. "The best brands don't advertise." Love it. And clearly he imparted his gift for wisdom and reflection on you. Thank you for your sacrifices so that your husband can serve our nation. A true patriot. |
