You folks disappoint me. I say do it! I’ll fly there to see it. Have a special formation for Vietnam Vets. All done in 2 hours. Precision. A message to the world. Let’s party!
Free Republic is infested with globalist Free Traitors™. They don’t get nationalism because they are creeps.
I’ll tell where this leads onto. You will end up with five-hundred military folks in some massive parade planning episode....spending sixteen hours a day trying to get x-number of tasks planned and coordinated. You will end up with every single GI within 20 miles of DC detailed out to the parade and thousands trucked in...just to make some statement.
I’d rather see a simplified memorial service...done on the 11th of November, and remember the fallen.
A message to the swamp coup plotters. Rolls tanks and include formations of supersonic jets to rattle their bones.
The parade might last only 2 hours, but the planning, preparation, rehearsals, and execution require thousands of manhours and millions of dollars in cost (fuel, maintenance, transportation, billeting, meals, etc.). Troops, tanks, and aircraft don’t just show up on/overhead Pennsylvania Avenue and parade. My bona fides? I marched in Nixon’s 2nd inaugural as part of the Navy contingent, and it was a huge movement of men & materiel. Let the inaugural parades every 4 years suffice. Something much more moving? Go to Arlington National Cemetery and observe an interment with military honors — caisson, casket, honor platoon, firing party, and for some, the caparisoned horse. It affects deeply, just as did my father’s interment, and they occur almost every weekday (schedule on the ANC website).
I agree. Bring it! A super way to skyrocket morale and well deserved recognition for our armed forces who have been fighting so tirelessly for us since 9/11.
I’d walk to D.C. to see this!
I’m with you - make it a deal to honor vets and current military....
