How about this video to show you what American military parades looked like when the country and Americans were proud that we had defeated the enemies of freedom. The men in this video were the lucky ones who made it back alive.

I watched this video with pride and tears in my eyes for my parents who lived through WWII. My father served in WWII and the Korean War. This video was filmed back when the American people were proud of our military and all those who sacrificed to preserve our nation and our way of life. Fast forward to today and look at what so many have become. It’s disgusting.

All the current whining about the cost of a parade when we spend billions on illegals, foreign aid to countries that hate us, the billions spent via corruption by politicians, and the list goes on. Liberals and the MSM should be ashamed that their heads are exploding instead of being proud of our military and all those who serve and who served in the past.

So, Superbowl winners and NBA champions are more than welcome to have a parade thrown for them.

However, the always cynical left has deemed that instead of throwing a parade for our military members, as I believe they deserve, the left can only see it as some kind of ploy to display military might in the same way as dictators or *cough* Soviet *cough* leaders were wont to do.

I have several lefties in the office who never considered the viewpoint from the military members, but who only see President Trump as a two-bit dictator bent on mayhem and war.

I propose counter legislation to fund the parades with the money saved not paying benefits to criminal aliens (If you are in the country in violation of the law, that does not make you an 'illegal' whatever that is, it makes you a criminal).

Take back the language, win the debate.

Oh for God’s sake, I don’t think much of the whole parade idea but this is even more stupid.

Good to see a Congressman putting first things first. Government shutdown all squared away already? I thought that was Job One today but I’m just a deplorable constituent.

More winning! Trumps playing the Dimwits AGAIN!

Suckers!

Yeah right! In an election year call 1,000 dollars in a single mom’s purse ‘crumbs”. Belittle a parade to honor our military. Call Marine General Kelly a racist. Enable Maxine Waters. Praise Nance Pelosi................I could go on and on and on....................endlessly but my point is that this widespread negativism and cynicism and pure hatred of what’s good and right is not going to ever return them to power much less November 2018.

The "Preparedness Before Parades Act," introduced Thursday by Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill.,

And it gets to the floor for a vote how?

Combine the military parade with the Cherry Blossom festival in March. There, all set to go.

Military Parades are good at many levels. They are good for the morale of the troops, they have a way increasing patriotism among spectators viewing at site and on TV, our enemies think we don’t have military parades because we fear terror attack, - so show them, and more.

But please, no camouflage uniforms, Class A all the way!!!

He is the Commander-in-Chief. Just call it a military exercise that he chooses to make open to the general public.

“Maybe a parade but without tanks/weapons?”

What do have against weapons in a military parade? Maybe you’d like to see the Marine’s silent drill platoon with broom handles and plungers...

The parade is aimed at the NorKorComs. It’s the threat language they understand.
