    President Trump's Military parade to cost $12 million
    http://thehill.com/policy/defense/3...almost-as-much-as-war-games-trump-called-very
    The military parade is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 10, one day before the anniversary of the end of World War I.

    :cool: A waste of money, but I'm neutral about it, might be a good show. I just hope it honors the military, not Trump


    I grimace picturing Trump reviewing the troops posturing like Mussolini

    he is,.. but do you want the parade to honor our military, or just be a photo op ego thrill for Trump?

    Its a photo op for the country...

    I find it odd we denounce the type of symbolism that is had with a military parade but just got done complaining about "talking tough" on Russia. Which is just symbolism because Trumps actions towards Russia have been far more impact-full than anything Obama ever did.

    Trump was dragged kicking and screaming,.. forced by congress or pressured by his advisors into signing off on most of those actions. Honor our military, yes absolutely,.. a propaganda tribute to Trump, hell no.

    and fuck totalitarian symbolism, we don't need that kind of bullshit,.. we're America
