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?

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

This is the attitude of an immature teenage boy who wants to show off his new shiny toy.

You should see the teenage boys and girls who sign their life over to do a very physically demanding and dangerous job while you live in a free and peaceful society. You might be appreciative instead of acting hysterical and frightened by America's military.

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.

Very few people in America have any contact with the Military.

Why should we? It's volunteer. I chose a different path for my life. I also have very little contact with police, doctors, politicians, garbage collectors, etc. why should I go out of my way to connect with any specific profession?

Then don't, but speak for yourself only.
