President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I’ve never had understood the appeal of ANY parade. Military, Macy’s or the small-town festival.

A group of people watching another group of people walk. Whee!

 

New York held a ticker tape parade for the Gulf War vets.

We’ve been at war for 17 years.

It’s really not outlandish to want to honor those who have sever post 9/11 with a parade.

I wonder if he meant 'Ivana.'

 

I don't see any tanks in that photo.

 

There are Veteran's Day Parades all over the country, every year. The first one was held here in Birmingham in 1947. The parades like what you pictured above are held after a war is over, to honor those who fought. The war in Afghanistan is seventeen years old, and there is no sign that we'll be able to get out of there anytime soon, any more than we have Iraq or Syria.

Or are you advocating that we simply declare victory and bring the troops home?

 

As YF's photo proves, American military parades have traditionally been for when wars are over, not when they're still going on.

 

If Trump wants to honor the military, he could do a lot better than a parade.

 

Trump's war ended when Fred bought him the medical deferment.

 

Only the best people.
