“The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France,” said a military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the planning discussions are supposed to remain confidential. “This is being worked at the highest levels of the military.”

I call WaPo bullnews.

What parade in France is he referring to?

The Dems will think he means the one where the Germans rolled into Paris...

Speaking of which:

Why are the roads in France lined with trees?

So the Germans can march in the shade.

*******

I bet he plans on sending a photo to the Norks.

I call BS as well. Trump isn't going to waste millions of dollars, probably 10 million+ for some huge parade that would shut down a decent chunk of Washington for a day or two (which would cost millions more).

I hope he's not doing it - a military parade for the sake of a military parade is....I witnessed one of those in Saudi Arabia, and a couple of other Middle Eastern/North African countries, and I witnessed one in Eastern Europe during the Cold War.

It's not an image I want Trump to project. If he wants to honor troops returning in large numbers from somewhere, sure, but just having a parade to have a parade.....no.
