I'm not against it or for it. But I don't believe in circle jerking over "support mahhh troops." I was in the army, I wouldn't support 10% of the fucking retards I served with. And supporting your troops blindly is how politicians push their shit wars.

Let's do it. The people against it, voted for HRC. The people that are for it are the silent majority.

The people that are for it are the silent majority.
But that's how it is anymore. The right has largely stayed silent so the left think that the right is some kind of minority. It's also going to cost us the midterm elections if we don't start shouting.

It's trump signaling to and calling out the deep state.

Do it on a militaristic holiday like veterans day or independence day and it's all good

You know what? This takes care of the cost arguement. Besides, so much more goes down the military-industrial-complex hole that a parade is a drop in the ocean.
Fuckers want to worry about military cost? Bring our troops back from the 700+ bases out there, cut off excessive pentagon spending, stop starting wars fucking everywhere.
FFS you civvies need to root out the gov corruption (you really don't want the military doing it), because it certainly is a major reason for excessive military spending.
This parade thing is just a way for snowflakes to virtue signal.

So far it sounds like that's exactly the idea. Trump said he'd like it to be on veteran's day this year.

Perfect. What's wrong with that? The fucking left promotes pussy hat parades or faggot recruitment parades but have a problem with a military parade? On veterans day? Target acquired
