I'm not an extreme liberal or anything, and not totally anti-trump though I don't really like him as president. I'm more a student of history and this military parade isn't a great sign to me.
-
We can use that money on other things. I hope it doesn't happen.

If he wants to do something honoring the military it should be making sure people get adequate healthcare, both physical and mental, and housing
-
waste of money!
-
Bad idea. Can we have the parade without trump.
-
Show our might... :thumbsup:
-
That money could be put to better use! Do not think he ever thinks before he speaks. So wasteful including all his Florida trips that we pay for the secret service
-
Should not be done. 100% against it. The amount of money that will be utilized on having this parade is ridiculous when we are raising the debt ceiling and our infrastructure is in such bad shape. If he wants a military parade let him pay for it or have a gofundme page to obtain the funds. It is so crazy that he's having the military do this, I have read and listened to so many military people that are against this idea. I agree we need to honor our service men and women but this is not honoring them, he wants it to honor himself.

I love the military and am in a military family, but I agree with the Mayor of DC. If Trump wants a parade, he needs to pay for it.
-
The whole idea is SO Donald Trump -- big, showy display. I personally feel that there are so many ways to honor our military without having a "parade". Mr. Trump has enough money to pay for such a spectacle, but I fear that doing so would do more harm than good. As others have said, the I think parade would end up being about him showing that the US has the "bigger button", not honoring the military. Just my 2 cents!

Agree!

I agree a big waste of money when military families need things.
-
It's not a bad idea. It's exposing the derangement some people have that even a parade works them up into a frenzy. Trump is living rent free inside your head.
-
I would love to see it happen as much I we train athletes to participate in the Olympics and do so well.
-
I am against anything that Trump does unless he is resigning than I am all for it 200 percent.
-
I am tired of hearing about Donald Trump. I will be so glad when his term is up. I just hope the next guy is better but lots of luck on that one. >:( >:(
-
i am sick of all the hooplah
-
It's ridiculous! What a huge waste of money. Maybe he will be impeached and kicked out of the White House before it happens.
-
I like the idea of a parade. I'm not a big fan of parades in general but, honoring our military and having pride in our country is a GOOD thing.
-
Not necessary. I support the military, but a parade would be a waste of money.
-
Waste of money. He just wants a display our military forces to be like North Korea and China...not really to honor them.
-
I think he's just trying to flex our military muscle to the world!
-
I love a parade!
-
A great waste of money. We could use if for lots of other things that would help the military.
-
There are a lot more things that need more attention than a parade.
-
A waste of time and money! Let him pay for it and get money from people like oldbuddy who would like to see it happen. What a waste of tax payer's money.
-
I don't believe a parade properly honors the military since that is the stance the White House is taking about the Parade. While I don't agree with Trump being taken as a dictator since throughout history someone (with nothing better to do) pointed out on the news this is a tactic is used by dictators to show force, it doesn't truly do the men and women in uniform justice. To honor them would be not to show them off, but give them better services in housing, protection, and healthcare, as well as a raise in pay. The money would be better used if done to service the military rather than flash them like a trophy at other nations.
-
Waste of time.
-
I think a parade is fine. I live in So Cal & there are a lot of military bases around here, they are at a lot of events.
I think it should showcase when the active military come back from serving their tours, celebrating their service. Seriously why not, the military already gets Billions, they can pay for it themselves.
There are already a ton of air shows put on by the military, they are interesting to watch.
Tanks & missile launchers wouldn't be able to go on the streets, so it would be just military bands & stuff.... people need to have positive activity in life... bread & circuses
-
That is the best thing to honor. Its time for America to be the best again.
-
Not that I am against Trump I think he is trying to do a lot of good, just wish people would respect him like some of us had to do with Clinton and Obama. Well I respected the office not much of what they were doing. But I believe that money it would cost could be better spent. But other Presidents have done worse.
-
no interest
-
If it cost $30 million to have a military parade, I'm opposed. Money better spent elsewhere.
-
I would vote against a thirty million dollar parade thrown for the benefit of presidential ego. We do not need to show off our military power like North Korea. Every country in the world realizes America is the top military nation albeit led by someone with no experience. This is not about the military. I am proud of all our young men and women in these uncertain times caused in large part because of the same person that wants to have the parade. Spend the thirty million dollars on proper gear for our police and soldiers rather than a parade for politics sake. If there has to be a parade, why not have it in California as one of the posters suggested. If it has to be done than prove that it is not an ego driven play toy for Stormy's boyfriend, and refrain from running the parade in Washington-take it to California.
-
Soooo glad that discussion has been dropped for now.
Spend that money on helping our vets, military families etc.
:rose:

I would love see Trump military parade, and it would be fun to watch.
