When you're actually patriotic, you don't have to wrap yourself up in the flag and carry a cross.

Having cognition problems again, Skippy?

I know, especially the Gold Star family. Nowhere near as patriotic as draft dodger Trump

Our military already participates in parades and does flyovers for events.

You guys really need to stop taking every piece of bait he throws out there or you're going to give yourselves strokes

I am an air force brat. One of the things I remember as a young child is attending military events where they had parades and such. It was quite inspiring. Then, when my son finished boot camp, I was overwhelmed with pride as the soldiers marched onto the field.
For me, there is something deeply moving when watching a military march. Watching our military with such precision and discipline is impressive.
Since less than half of one percent of our population is active military, not everyone has had the opportunity to witness a military parade in person. It stirs patriotism in people.
Perhaps this is what Trump is hoping to invoke in our citizens - a sense of patriotism - non partisan patriotism.

Do you really not know why the optics might be troubling? The president encouraging this?

Please no, we don't want to do this. BAD idea.

Uh we do it at every inauguration.

The article/Trump's statement isn't clear, but he seems to be saying that he would parade the entire military through US cities, a la Kim Jon Un.

Well, nothing would make me happier than to see tanks rolling down Main Street in Fairfax. There's a difference between displays of patriotism and overt intimidation. Trump is a coward (bone spurs - lol) and a traitor (Russian collusion). The only purpose for these 'parades' would be to stroke Trump's enormous ego.

Pp, I get your point, but there's a large difference between military parades on base for military ceremonies or included in events for federal holidays or siecial larger events, like an air show or fly over and a parade simply for the purpose of showing military power on main streets across America. Try to visualize 20 tanks rolling down you Main Street with 16 helicopters overhead.

No offense, but I think you are acting a bit like chicken little here. No where has he said this is his vision.

Yes, because Trump's campaign has been about inclusion all along.
