Looks like it’s happening. Trump wants a grand military parade.

I hope other groups apply for parade permits in DC and take up all Veteran's Day weekend.

I'm a compensable disabled army veteran and would bet that Felix's only experience with the military was when he played with some little green army men.

But he supports the military. He supports sending them overseas to be killed or wounded for stupid shit.

So reasoning is:
“He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation.”

I show my appreciation every two weeks when I pay their salaries, and their health care, and pension, and all the toys they play with. I think that should be enough.

You literally cream your pants over thoughts of your authoritarian betters. What else should I post for you, because it looks like The Wall only gave you blue balls....

How about this?

Another swing and a miss, but I appreciate the effort .

I think he means all Americans showing their appreciation for him. We, as a country, have not been giving Trump the amount of honor and respect he deserves.

Why can’t Cadet Bone Spurs just go visit the troops overseas if he wants to show his respect to the military?

In Trump's mind, as the Supreme Commander and Uber Fuhrer of the Free World, the troops must come to him and pay homage as an expression of loyalty to him and not the other way around.

Dictator's protocol and all that, previous president's honoring our service members in foreign combat zones not withstanding of course.

but Anandtech's Politics and News forum has sadly become where that sewer goes to poop.

Buddy it's an anonymous forum on the internet. I don't think it really rates much of a mention either. The only reason people come here is so they can learn how the world works from great minds. Like tajbot (the worlds greatest nazi collaborator and right wing fellator), slowspyder and soulcrotch. My point is. Don't worry about it bro. You are overthinking it.

Why would you conclude that Trump's proposed military parade is for himself and his ego, whereas Schumer's is not?

So dishonest. Shumer & DeBlasio proposed a ticker tape parade for returning veterans. For returning veterans, get it?

Lots of cheering & waving, confetti, some bands, some marching, maybe a flyover, with the *returning veterans* taking the spotlight. It's about them.

Who's this parade about?

I don't recall federal government EVER paying for a Gay Pride parade.


That's not the point and you know it. Besides, if money was an issue we can always kick the asses of all the illegals who leach off the system back over the southern border and save a ton of cash. So this military parade cost would be chump change.
