Very interesting. There were plenty of military parades in the US before.

Recommend reading the entire article.

We grew up with military parades. When television arrived en mass in the ‘50’s we saw the parades from all over the nation.

I don’t see the point in beating this dead horse...

He’s cancelled it already,

over the COST, already,

Postponed until 2019, which will doubtfully be any cheaper.

So...CNN...shut up about it already.

Face it. There no longer exists the common consensus in America that would make a military parade a celebratory, unifying, joyful event. Suspect there would be counter demonstrations and even attacks on the parade applauded by the left wing media.

President Trump was at France’s Bastille Day Parade last year. The French do this every year and they seem to be able to afford it. They apparently take great pride in their military. Plenty of YouTube videos. President Trump thought it would be nice to do the same for our military. Apparently many in the DC area thinks it’s a terrible idea—something Hitler would do.

Libs will do anything to take a honor away from our Troops and the President who actually loves them.

Why not just incorporate a military parade into an existing parade during Thanksgiving or Christmas?

Parade doesn’t need to be in D.C. or New York...It can be held in my town or any town...Folks will flock from miles around to see it...We only need Fox News to cover it...Would be great for the town and Fox News and it would be cheap...

Be even better to be held on a Military Base...There’s no need to see a few big city streets...We want to see the hardware...And the men/women of the Military...
