I can pretty much guarantee that most of the brass doesn't like this idea either. This kind of parade will suck up training and maintenance time as commanders try to ensure that their unit looks perfect at a useless parade. The epitome of a time-wasting dog and pony show.

A true victory parade -- sure. But a hardware/personnel parade just for the sake of having one...ugh. If the President wants to see one that badly, he can hop up the road to Annapolis and catch one of the spring formal parades.

I say all this as someone who has generally been a huge fan of Trump as President. But this is a misstep, and not because of the stupid leftist complaints about it being too militaristic.

It will be a TINY part of the military - it’s not like the whole military has to stand down for this.
