[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey everyone, MAGA here.

You do realize that this parade, if it happens, is actually to celebrate the 250th birthday of the US Army?  The reference to Trump's own birthday is mainly to troll folks like you.

Reading this site makes it appear that the Democrat/Liberal/Leftist/Anti-Trump crowd has nothing to say except finding new ways to attack and complain about Trump.

Can someone write a sentence or two saying who you think would be a good Democrat Presidential candidate for 2028 and why, without saying anything negative about Trump and his supporters?  Just name your candidate and say what you like about him/her.

I bet you can't!

[b]Wrong[/b]! Leave it to MAGA to be uninformed. Trump wanted to do this during his first term to “show military strength.”

Here’s what the Military Times said about it in 2018:

“Muscular military parades of the kind that [b]are common in authoritarian countries like China and North Korea are not quintessentially American.[/b] The U.S. traditionally has not embraced showy displays of raw military power, such as North Korea’s parading of ballistic missiles as a claim of international prestige and influence.

U.S. military members commonly participate in parades on the Fourth of July and other holidays to mark appreciation and remembrance of military veterans, [b]but these typically do not include gaudy displays of military hardware.[/b]“

…

“ Although Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has not commented publicly on the idea of a Washington military parade, [b]the idea is not an obvious fit with his emphasis on focusing strictly, if not exclusively, on military activities that either improve the lethality of the armed forces or enhance their preparation for combat, or both[/b].”
