It’s not about the numbers. It’s about the form. Military parades exist for one reason. They are a display of strength to threaten all comers. Especially the local population. There’s a reason why dictatorships LOVE them and have them all the time.

I don’t know where you created that spin from but In America before I was born, and when I was a child, and when I marched in parades as a soldier, and the American parades since then, it was about the patriotism.

Relax, we will survive the 250th birthday of the Army and the 4th of July.

You can’t be serious. I’ve attended military parades since I was a wee lad in GITMO. They were to honor the US military.

Oh good grief! Do you actually think Trump is doing this as a psyop to threaten the local American population?
