NBC & ABC Fear Military Parade Would Make U.S. Look ‘Authoritarian’

On Wednesday morning, NBC’s Today show and ABC’s Good Morning America recited identical liberal talking points as both broadcasts warned viewers that the U.S. was on the verge of looking like world’s worst “authoritarian regimes” if the Pentagon followed through on President Trump’s desire to hold a military parade in the nation’s capital.

“Some unusual marching orders from President Trump to the Pentagon. He wants a massive parade to highlight the country’s military strength,” fretted Today co-host Hoda Kotb. “But as NBC’s Hans Nichols explains, that request is not sitting well with some lawmakers,” she added.

Personally, I think a parade is for when you’ve just won WWII, etc. And they will waste a ton of training time.

Basically, it would just damage stuff under the streets.

According to this article...

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/02/06/white-house-confirms-donald-trump-wish-for-military-appreciation-parade/

...that’s exactly what it would be. A beefed up 7/4 parade.

Never fear the sight of freedom.

Too many Americans have forgotten the protection that allows freedom to flourish.

Perhaps some will take a break from deciding which of the 100 genders they want to be this week and think.

Mixed opinion on this. But, it sure would be fun to see our CiC’s soldiers, showing mass and undeniable strength, in DC, for both the lowlife and the highlife perps to witness.

We had this amount of show locally for years and still do. A few tanks and jeeps and all kinds of units. The attention is "to the troops".

Go to kim's parade....where you will see monstrous missiles, etc...

Thanks! It says “The Washington Post first broke the news citing a military official who said that the president gave “marching orders” to military officials to come up with ideas similar to the military parade in France for Bastille Day. Trump attended the French parade in July 2017.”

This sounds more like a parade of people than tanks and missiles. :-)

Didn’t NBC just hire the biggest thug in “intelligence”? And ABC has a ‘newsman’ who ran the War Room for Bill Clinton? Sluts and Nuts Team Leader?

Yeah, we can see why they’re worried the United States might look strong... or healthy or even ‘not corrupt’...

"Not at all the same."

Who said it was?

I simply stated all military parades don't look like North Korea or Russia.

Try again.

No there are videos of the Bastille Day parade out there. Tanks, trucks, artillery, airplanes, if they could get a ship up the Seine then they'd include that. That is the kind of show Trump wants.

Even more reason to have one. Maybe Liberals will eat more Tide Pods over it.

Would they assert the same thing if this was under Obama-idiot?

I wouldn’t consider them improvements if federal taxpayers get stuck with the tab.
