Brilliant, if the 8-10 million which the parade will cost, did not come at the expense of maintenance, upgrades and spare parts; things which the military needs far more than a pretty parade, however much it might boast moral in the moment. Going back to base looking at the planes, vehicles torn apart for spare parts and those for which there are no longer any spares must be very depressing.
True.
how about having 1 Marine Corps jet flyover and 2 skeletons being hauled on the ground? Only 30% can fly.
With a $824 billion budget, would 8 million be worth it? Take it from Pakistan’s funding.
