I’m pointing out who digs big grandiose military parades with missiles and other heavy equipment. And you provided a list of some. You proved my point. We shouldn’t hang out with dictators.

Frankly I believe its a good idea

As one who voted for Pres Trump
I believe in *”peace through strength”*
a visual representation of strength is
a this very message.

Pres Trump is anti-war.

Who did you vote for

I believe is strength is NOT acting like dictators.

Trump is NOT antiwar. Look at any of his Iranian comments.

None of the above, same as always.

(Why are we showing the strength of the nation?)

Because we are the United States of America, the world’s superpower!

(We don’t to do that.)

But we already have, and will again!

Do you believe in Ronald Reagan’s Peace through Strength motto?

Peace through strength is great. Showing off is pointless. Threatening your populace is for dictators.

Actually you still proved my point. And now you’ve reduced yourself to personal attacks. So we both know you’re wrong. Buh bye, have a great day.

Not disagreeing! At least Musk has publicly admitted he has “issues”.

I respect your opinion whether true or not.

I do question why you are here
on FR.

Its not everyone here
all agree at once on evetything
about Trumps admin ,domestic
& foreign policy but
* peace thru strength * is psrt of the Trump platform.

You are only vaguely informed allowing your belief Pres Ttump wants war with Iran.
Wherr do yoi get your news? from the Drudge Report and call it a day?

Negotiating with Iran and the mullahs is a entirely diff ballgame than any other country including the entire Midfle East. They are their own inbred breed; a mix of dodgring the question, always pronouncing themselves innocent ;never showing their true hand because as powerful as they think they are, they are- these mullahs are lityle cocktail dicks. Their caginess is a national symbol of pride to srr how much they can get away with.

They need to be threatened to come a come to Jesus moment and when you hear war words from Pres Trump, his words and meaning are the way the cortipt mullahs understand this. Pres Trump has the entire ME in his front pockets, the govt of Iran HATES the ME countries; now think about that.

Iran is so very ripe for a govt change too.
I sure hope Reza Pahlavi kerps homself out of it. He will brring back his fathers evil legacy. I thought he had changed over time but hes even worse.

You can hear him being intetviewed full show on
the MBD podcast on you tube

“I think for the parade we should have WW2 Era fighters and bombers part of the flyover or a little bit of everything from past wars.”

Absolutely. Stuart and Sherman tanks; half-tracks; jeeps; WC 51s & 63s; G506s. If the Army doesn't have operating specimens there are private collectors that do.

The whole thing should be led by the 1st Cavalry Division's mounted unit with guidons flying.

Now you continue ignoring our posts and keep saying even sillier things, that was truly silly.

You have condemned all the history of American patriotic military parades, not just this next one, and you haven’t offered up any real reason for it except that Trump wants to intimidate us and that other nations also do military parades.

You really think that is what all the patriotic American military parades have been through our history? Give some evidence or examples of what our parades did to us that was so dark and sinister.

Happy Birthday to those of you who serve or served in the Army and what a wonderful idea to hold this parade. Sad to see it opposed by some here on FR. My friends suffering from TDS are also opposed, but of course they are. America becoming great again requires restoring confidence and parades can and do have that outcome. And, as someone has mentioned this is likely to boost recruitment and I suspect that will apply across the services. I only wish I could be there.

And what better month to celebrate genuine accomplishment and restore pride in our armed forces.

Up thread someone pointed out that this could help recruiting, and it sure can do that.

I know that you’ll probably think I’m just attacking you too, but I think it’s important to just state this because I doubt you have any idea how you are coming across. Your innumerable bizarrely over-the-top posts on this thread really make you come across as extremely paranoid and at least somewhat delusional—and you are marshalling history and facts in ways that are more one-sided than the typical critical theory Marxist academic.

I know you’ll think I’m trying to insult you or something, but you should take into account how other people view what you are doing. You are making yourself appear like someone who needs to see a psychiatrist, and I think you are not likely aware of that. You are not accomplishing what you think you are accomplishing here.

Here is the JFK inauguration.

This is either JFK or Eisenhower's inauguration.

Eisenhower's inauguration.
