Spacex launch united people. Hopefully more of that to come.
But even with all the divides in America...i think the fact we openly debate and contest each other IS a part of our strength too...unites us in a way. Our agreement that differences are a normal by-product of freedom.
I am talking general population here, not Deep State.
Other countries like Russia and No. Korea have military parades...but they’re often used as cover for or distraction from weaknesses in the social fabric.
Our country has so much substance with or without parades and shows. But i am all for a parade also.
” Our agreement that differences are a normal by-product of freedom.”
Only problem here is, we see it that way, but the looney left just fumes and complains. They do not like facts. It’s their way, or no way.
If there IS a parade, it just...it has to be different and send a message other than “look at how great we are. Look at our nukes...” Hopefully no tanks, no weapons...
Because military might ISN’T what makes us great, it’s what our military protects and stands for: our values, our freedoms, which make us great...
But: if it’s respectful marches of our soldiers on the part of different regiments and departments...If it’s musical renditions of “Mine Eyes Have Seen the GlorY” hymns like “Amazing Grace” and songs like “America the Beautiful”...If it’s acknowledgment of deceased veterans —all things done in a tasteful way...it COULD be good? Wonder what Generals Mattis and McMaster think...
For some reason I feel like the more subdued and somber a display like that is, would be more powerful rather than fireworks and ramparts (even though that’s what our National Anthem alludes to...the rockets red glare and all that...)
Interesting criticism coming from both sides of political aisle over the idea:
