So you are saying that most Americans would frown on a parade honoring American Veterans to the point of voting for Democrats in the midterms? How many would vote for Republicahs for initiating a parade to honor them? Screw the criticism of small minded people and do the right thing. The military has withstood 100 years of foreign wars, too many instances of political meddling and idiotic limitations by Washington, social engineering, budget cuts and disrespect by those it protects. Let them have a parade. I’ll be there.
Where the heck did I say that Americans would frown on a military parade? Stop putting words into my mouth (or fingers, as the case might be).
What I am saying is that, it is a lot more important to not give the democrats an ammunition with which to attack republicans during the campaigns for the November election. And, we’ve never needed military parades in order to show pride for them or with them. We can honor and respect and support them without a parade.
