I know ur being sarcastic RC. I have zero sympathy for Trump. I’m sad for our military though. I didn’t watch the parade (and I know whoever created that video obviously picked some troops that aren’t necessarily representative of the entire military). But it’s appalling to me that our stupid POTUS didn’t do better (and that those troops) are being mocked.
I feel badly for them.They’re being ridiculed because Trump can’t even put together a decent $45million dollar parade.

I did watch the parade live on U-tube. I'm sure you can find it there should you feel the urge to see it.
I had mixed emotions about it. I really enjoyed the history about the different army divisions and equipment. As well as the drill team showing off their talent spinning those 10-pound rifles with sharpened bayonets. The bands were also entertaining.
I didn't like big D's demeanor, the way they had the music up so loud at times you had a hard time hearing the speaker. As well as how sloppy our solders looked as they "marched". Thats coming from me, someone with a family full of military members for generations.
The entire event reminded me of a cross between a circus and a Christmas Parde. With a dash of concert sprinkled on it.
Beer drinking, gun toting, Bike riding,
womanizing, sex fiend, sexist, asshole !
Don't like it? Well than F.U !!!!!!!!!

Hegseth would have been in charge of it, wouldn't he?
We've gone from clown world to clown world 2.0. I'm sure some would love to go back to 1.0 but I think I'd rather die. The only way out is through, not back.
What will tomorrow bring?

We had ROTC in my high school. The drill teams were awesome to watch.

Thank you
It's too bad they had to be in the grass tho and no floor was provided. Part of the performance was hearing their shoes on the floor.

Trump on the difference between his first and second terms: "I was the hunted. But now I'm the hunter."

Oh great. Because that’s what I want from our commander in chief. The same guy that said he’d end wars.
