Currently TCM (Turner Classic Movies) has on demand a rather long documentary covering the Vietnam war era. Its called HEARTS & MINDS.
If your program provider has TCM on demand, WATCH THIS DOCUMENTARY.
This is the most A thru Z summary and coverage of not only the war itself but everything in-between.
The war from the military aspect, the American citizen aspect, the aspect of those opposed, and the Vietnamese both north and south.
Yes, its pretty gruesome as well.
Covers the politics, the POW's, the boots on the ground, the Vietnam and American families that lost so much.
And also interesting as well, a good chunk of commentary from then Daniel Ellsberg.
How this relates to Trump and Military parades?
Near the conclusion of this documentary is a military parade scene that took place in support of Americas Vietnam involvement back then. On the street with the protesters, the divisions within the crowd, the arrests, the yelling, the banners.
Right up Trump's alley.
I can already see this coming....
Donald Trump doing exactly what he does best, dividing Americans against one another.
If you don't LOVE his parade idea, they call you a commie, un-American, a disgrace.
THEY being Fox News, Donald Trump, and a hand full of republicans in congress.
Like I said, I can see only one purpose for this parade, a typical Donald Trump stunt to divide.
Donald Trump playing to glorify war right down the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue.
No, this is not patriotism Trump hopes to project, nor showing some support of our American veterans.
This is more of mean spirited Donald Trump in its purest form.
Something he can wave over our heads while texting YOUR EITHER WITH US, OR AGAINST US.
And another thing....
Could this be some Trump brainstorm to stir up patriotism with the military and the citizenry for the sake of what is to come?
A war against North Korea, AND KIDDIES something us older folks remember well.... THE DRAFT...?
Is this stunt only some harebrained scheme by Trump for warning of things to come?
A special Trump 5am wakeup tweet that war is coming AND your children better be ready when called?
Naturally, anyone with the last name of Trump need not worry. Trump's will be exempt.
