Mike Honcho 4,171 Posted February 7, 2018 I think a military parade is aiming a little low. There should be giant balloons, clowns, clydesdales and those little dogs that walk on their back legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alias Detective 1,199 Posted February 7, 2018 The US doesn't need to parade it's military strength. That's for shithole countries that need to artificially inflate their strength. We're the best, we know we're the best, they know we're the best. No parade necessary. I agree with you other than it could possibly be one hell of a recruitment strategy.

mighty_thor 115 Posted February 7, 2018 The cost doesn't bother me. Its just not what we do. We have military parades when our victorious troops coming marching home. When I think of peace time Military Parades with tanks and missiles, I think of nations with an inferiority complex like the Soviet Union (does Russia still have those on May day?) and North Korea.

Mike Honcho 4,171 Posted February 8, 2018 Republican Sen. John Kennedy on Trump wanting a big military parade: "I don't think it's a particularly good idea. Confidence is silent. Insecurities are loud." Sen. Graham echoed those thoughts. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham: “I don’t mind having a parade honoring the service and sacrifice of our military members. I’m not looking for a Soviet-style hardware display. That’s not who we are, It’s kind of cheesy. I think it shows weakness, quite frankly.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted February 8, 2018 Now that Im out Im all for it. If I was in then hell no I wouldnt want it. Thing is, if youre in the military you dont want to do stuff like this thats extra. You already do a lot as it is with your free time (at least I did) so I wouldnt want to practice for hours and days doing nothing but marching (got enough of that in basic).

Mike Honcho 4,171 Posted February 8, 2018 He was pissed that he didn't get 1 at his inauguration. And then he got a super hard on when he got to go to the French parade.

SenatorRock 708 Posted February 8, 2018 And Trump continues to play the Left like a fiddle. Trump floats the possibility of a parade. Left responds: Literally Hitler! NoKo Fascist! Cheeto 9 inch!

Once again, he sets the trap, they fall right in. https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2018/02/08/ouch-parade-of-chuck-schumer-flashbacks-coming-back-to-bite-the-dems-just-got-longer/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,688 Posted February 8, 2018 Notice how the board trolls definition of Democrats and liberals keeps growing and growing? This generals who spoke out against the parade are suddenly now Pinko commie leftist liberals? Oh wait, being a commie isnt a bad thing under the Trump Administration.

When I think of peace time Military Parades with tanks and missiles, I think of nations with an inferiority complex like the Soviet Union (does Russia still have those on May day?) and North Korea. This x 1000. Plus not flaunting our military's prowess makes it seem more formidable to me. As the adversary, you don't know what you're up against but you have this sense it's going to kick your ass. Whether that's the truth..good question, but the feeling, and the potential, given other factors (wealth, resources, history) is there. Meanwhile this is a dignified power that doesn't lust to bring out its guns because diplomacy is more efficient and civilized. The muscle is there as a backup. Not how we do everything, clearly, but this is the ideal image. Revel after victory, don't vainglory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
