Trump wants military parades

[Anonymous]

Soldiers and tanks parading down Main Street just reeks of the martial law trumper is itching to impose. I do not trust him with the power of the military. He absolutely would abuse it to shit down his domestic enemies.

You libs can laugh. But just wait.

Not more freaking street closures! If he insists on having this expensive crap, inconvenience the people in Florida or Ohio or something. They need parades too. And jobs, don't forget the jobs.

It's the sound of freedom, sweet and free. The people in those tanks and helicopters volunteered to do a dangerous job to protect America.

How that is threatening is beyond me.

You live in a bubble. I hope you understand that your views of military power is far removed from the average America walking down Main Street. While artillery down range may not bother you, and I can assure you it would rattle 95% of Americans if they heard it from their house. Same with tanks on Main Street.

I know. You want people to do America's "dirty work" and be neither seen nor heard. You want to pretend the people who would die for you don't even exist. Aren't you a peach?

NP here:
My family is special forces - the epitome of "dirty work," to this day fighting the worst of America's enemy in brutal raids. They leave home with 48 hour notice and return sometimes a week or a month later, not able to discuss where they went.

While we all hunt and own firearms, they don't feel the need to flaunt weapons. They use them daily to prepare for combat and then kill others. It's a sacred and ominous responsibility. Only those who feel they need to prove something would advocate rolling tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue; it projects insecure weakness, not strength.

That's your opinions and you are welcome to it. Flaunting? I'd say acknowledging, but that's my opinion.

As it turns out, my dad's retired army and my brother is retiring from the navy with 28 years served this year. I've also got lots of extended family including two other uncles with 20 years in. Even with these family ties I have extremely limited contact with the military. My family chose their jobs and they loved doing them, but it still doesn't mean I have to go out of my way to connect with the military community. They almost never discuss work with me.

And, you called it dirty work, not me

What do you call it?

The job the volunteered to do. For my brother, a medic, it's his passion. That's what I call it.

It's a sacred duty to me. It's a sacrifice. Those that gave their lives in Service to America are true heroes and I weep for them and their families and their deaths.

Sorry, as a military family of 26 years and with an active duty son, it's been part of my history for almost 3 decades, starting with my own boot camp graduation.

Just because you have no Military background doesn't mean "we" all do not.

I am military, so don't make assumptions. We do not have parades in public settings with tanks. People, yes, machinery, no.

How does your brother define his Service?

Let me call him and ask, although I don't see how that relates to trump holding military parades down Main Street or my lack of desire to go seek out the military community and give them a big hug.

This is what dictators do, and if you are not aware, perhaps you should leave your bubble.

NP: I come from a longstanding military family that has members who fought in every single major conflict going back to the Revolutionary War, in fact I have 9 confirmed ancestors who were part of the Continental Army, including a General and several other senior officers. And that said, I respect the office of the President and of the Commander In Chief but I do not respect Trump. He has not earned my respect. Until he does, he is just a temporary, and likely short-term official - who in my opinion isn't even respecting his own office and position.
