[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironic on this date one year ago, when Biden was in office and still the nominee, the Army applied for a permit to celebrate the 250 anniversary.[/quote]

The celebration was not going to be a wastefully expensive, dictator type parade highlighting weaponry, ala North Korea style. That switch happened during Trump. He also tried to make this style of parade during his first term and the idea was shot down as it wasn't a good look.

Typically, US military parades highlight our PEOPLE who serve or have served rather than a gratuitous display of an excessive amount tanks that rip up roads.

If you want to make the point that this was always planned, in this style with this excessively expensive, display on Trump's birthday, well, stop lying. This is happening this way specifically because Trump is a megalomaniac. [/quote]

DP to add, the optics of the expansion of this gratuitous parade to mimic fascist regimes, coupled with the Trump admin actually pre-screening military members for political allegiance to attend Trump's speech at Fort Bragg, these are not good optics. They are not good optics no matter one's political leanings. We are the USA, this is not and should not, be us. [/quote]

Exactly. It’s almost like we should have an election or something to guide us on what we should be doing. [/quote]
