It was grand, and good marketing.
I agree.
The pompous assedness of the author is sadly on bigger display than the parade he reports on.
It was lightly attended and very low energy, to the point that Russian state media is making fun of it.
“As a military history nerd…
…if that were the case, he’d be a conservative.
Max Boot is a putz.
I particularly liked the fireworks and the accompanying music.
What a snarky little twit. Too bad he could not leave out the politics of the event like Trump he admitted, did.
“Trump is a dictator and he surrounds himself with incompetents, but I liked the parade.”
This is what passes as discourse now?
So, President Trump made the parade about the history of the Army, and not about himself. Eat it, Yellow Journalist.
Why is Max Boot posted here?
The guy is a flat out RINO.
I don’t think the Ruskies would like to see our Army up close and personal.
“Now Trump has a far more accommodating, and far less qualified, secretary of defense in Pete Hegseth,..”
Who is this a-hole?
People in the DC area are largely anti-US. After Jan 6th, many patriotic Americans are reluctant to go to DC.
When is the last time the Pentagon passed an audit with "the qualified" at the helm? Last I heard it was seven or eight years of FAIL.
So stuff it.
I’m guessing a light attendance might be partially due to there being “No Kings” marches from coast to coast, and some Trump supporters preferred not to become a part of that uncertainty.
I haven’t actually heard much of anything, pro or con about the Army parade, so your take on it is valuable.

Glad you came to your senses Max.
If the Russian state media is making fun of it, it must have been a success!
I thought it was great.
