Why did they shun this event? I would have expected a million MAGA on the Mall for this.

What happened?

I think a lot are just keyboard warriors. You'd have to be highly motivated to spend the time and money to travel to an event that may be rained out, pay for a hotel, food etc.. The last time I saw that level of motivation was the day of the Women's March--but not since.

This says it all. Boo hoo Donnie. Boo hoo.

OMG, clearly the planners are trolling Trump.

If this is real, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was most certainly real, and it was spectacular.

They handcuffed an 80 year old vet.

This is MAGA's respect for the military.

God bless this man. This is a true hero.

I haven’t read one hateful comment about our military. We believe they deserve better which is one of the million reasons we hate trump.

Agree. The comments were negative about the parade not the military. Most pointed out the money should have been spent on vets and programs to improve life for those who serve. Not a vanity project for our King.

I was just seeing footage from CSPAN showing that the “marching” in a lot of cases was informal strutting or sauntering. A sort of protest from the service people.

I think you had hot (as in temperature), young Soldiers who don't march in formation often. They all loved being here. On the Army socials, these kids were having the time of their lives. Many (most?) had never been to DC before. Most love the President. It was a great day to be a Soldier.

Dump loves a show and big, strong, square-jawed war-fighters. So imagine my surprise when the flag was presented by a small, frail-looking ginger who was about a foot shorter than the Orange in chief.

I was also surprised the stands were empty. You'd think that the organizers would be able to fill those, at least.

I saw that noted on Twitter...tried to find it but couldn't.

So, it's ok for the UK to have a military parade - but not the US? You people are so absurd.

It’s pathetic how little you understand history. Absolutely pathetic. Hint: Boston Tea Party

I just watched a clip of soldiers ambling along the avenue to “Fortunate Son,” and now I’ll have to apologize to my DH who swore up and down that the military wouldn’t participate happily in this grotesque event.
