Trump Gets His Military Parade (Without Tanks)
March 10, 2018 at 7:54 am EST
By Taegan Goddard


President Trump “will get his much-anticipated military parade, but it will not include some of the biggest military hardware, according to a planning memo released late Friday by the Pentagon,” Politico reports.

“The event, which will take place Nov. 11, will include troops from different branches, highlight the growing role of women in the armed forces and have a ‘heavy air component’ of modern and historic war planes, the memo says.”

I use to be involved in military displys in DC. You would not believe how much time and effort is put into these displays/events. And what the military gets out of it is practically nothing.

I feel sorry for the people who will be organizing this. Careers will begin and end based on how well they put on this show for a criminal.

All I can say is I'm glad I don't work there anymore.

It's sad that this draft dodging oaf can order our military to do a dog and pony show in his honor.

which in this administration that wants 139K doors and 31K dining room sets is sure to be more like 35 million when it all totals out.

Good thing military veterans are getting the care they deserve.

He needs something to wear to pin his prep school medals on.

Nanny McPhee's medals were for better actions and qualities than trump possesses. (Courage, kindness, resolve, imagination, enthusiasm, basket-work, and leaps of faith.)

should instead be channelled to care and aid for our veterans, homeless and otherwise. With this parade we are stepping right into a stinking pile of dictatorial, Banana Republic, Fascistic sh*t.

No one should show up, but they will kowtow to dictator donald anyway because this nation is full of spineless fuckers. So count on all the GOP to be there waving flags that resemble the stars and stripes but have the stars replaced by a picture of glorious dictator.
