    Yes, what is the big deal about wasting some more government tax dollars to please the emperor? I want to see the biggest ICBMS and the fastest jets, that will show little Kim who is the boss.

    This is such a terrible comparison.

    Trump is clearly a Mussolini clone.

    I think it is pretty interesting we don't have national scale military parades like European democracies do. I appreciate that as a gesture to civil leadership. I'm happy to do without. But whatever. It's not a hill I want to die on. The price tag is much smaller than a border wall. I'm sure soldiers and veterans will appreciate the recognition. And, I think it's harmless enough. So, I'm not going to waste much energy complaining about it. Just not likely to tune in.

    I hear veterans are organizing to protest this parade should it ever come to fruition (it won't).

    I might even go myself. Should be fun. Always wanted an arrest record!

    Of all the actual Il Duce stuff, I kind of agree: this isn't a big deal to me. I'd rather he stand up to Russian aggression and then bring our kids home from Afghanistan, then parade them in appreciation.

    Will just note the idea of celebrating WW1 ending is kinda ironic, given worldwide rise of nationalism, paranoia, and growing arsenals. But whatever.

    It won’t cost much in the grand scheme, but a US military parade is a small penis move.

    Trump heard the part about carrying a big stick, but must’ve been tweeting or grabbing vaginas during the speak softly part.

    I think it's pretty stupid and I can't help but laugh that he basically had penis envy after seeing one in Europe, but it's not the end of the world.

    This is a toddler who goes vroom vroom when he sits in a big truck.

    Parades are stupid. Military parades are worse.

    If you "love" the military, you won't make them do that BS.

    Well there's about 200K females in the military, of those, probably at least half would qualify as "good looking" with "good looking" being the 2nd lowest qualifier when it comes to attractiveness ahead of only "f***able".
