It’s a sign of insecurity. It’s the kind of thing I would expect in a 1984-type novel. Why is it a sign of insecurity anyway? Nationalistic pride? Ego? Tyrants love to flex their muscles for entertainment. How about parading army troops and vehicles, warships along harbors and jet fighters and bombers in the sky on national holidays? Same insecurity meaning, I bet?

To: myknowledge

I asked, do you think the US should parade missiles through Washington?

“How about parading army troops and vehicles, warships along harbors and jet fighters and bombers in the sky on national holidays? Same insecurity meaning, I bet?”

It depends how it’s done. If it’s done like “here’s a huge ordinance that could blow stuff up” it’s gay, if it’s “here are our people, we honor them” or “here are some cool airplanes” it’s not gay.

This isn’t opinion, these are fundamentally true facts.
