Personally I'm not a fan.

We have armed forces day, veteran's day, July 4th, memorial day....

Do we really need another day honoring our military?

I think a Military Parade that rotates from City to City / State to State yearly is a good idea. Let to public see the Military in a different format of pride and honor and America patriotism. Nothing wrong with showing off

Was going to write the exact same thing.  But #1 it's about Trump.  And #2 he probably looks at all the parades Rocket Man has and he feels inadequate.

How about instead of a parade you fix VA healthcare?

A better way to honor our military is to bring them home from unwinnable undeclared wars.

As long as they have some floats with people throwing candy to the curb, I'm cool with it.

Not necessary.

 

And I agree on cleaning up the VA cesspool.

Kid better stay out of strong winds!

As to the topic, I don't see the point. As said above, we have multiple days set aside to honor vets. Adding a parade so Trump can be the center of attention just seems like a situation where the only winners are him and those who get off on constantly paying attention to him, whether it be the OTT Trumptards or the OTT anti-Trumptards.

Nay. 

As others said, money can be used/ saved, to do other things. 

People already know we are the best military in the world, no need to tear up the streets in DC to show off. 

Plus, it would be a gold mine for China and Russia counter intelligence, just as we use parades to gather intel on China. Russia, and North Korea.

It would be incredibly expensive I can assure you that.

 

Plus the security would have to be immense.  It would be a prime time for the bad guys to kill civilians, military and take out some eqt as well.

 

Wouldit be cool to see?   I think so but incredibly unnecessary and expensive.

I don't watch the Macy's parade, so it's a given that I wouldn't watch a military parade. Besides, does anybody watch televised parades other than small children and the Boomers?

Yeah...obviously not a great idea. I’ll go ahead and wager now that it doesn’t happen.

It was a great idea to troll the regressives.  It would be a horrible idea to actually do it.

We have a huge dick

The world knows we have a huge dick

If the POTUS wants to prove he has a big dick, just bomb a little helpless 3rd world, litle dick country like the past presidents before him have done.

OR..... he could just have a press conference and drop his pants so the world can see his little cheeto, and save us a couple dozen patriot lives and about 30 million dollars or so.

Totally not scientific, but the military times did a poll asking this...

87% said no.  

Let localities to continue their own parades for special holidays.  Was in Nashville in November and caught the Veteran's parade.   They had a good amount of it in this parade a long with way. Way, way too much fluff.   The parade was way too long.
