The thing is, we (Americans) have always been told that 'military might' parades and huge flybys are the bailiwick of dictatorships and communist regimes and have been given the parades held by Russia, China, N Korea, and Nazi Germany as examples. We're told they're proof of a country that wants world domination, political repression and brutality. That they are nothing but a silent threat against the free world, an act of aggression. Now Trump wants one and expects us to suddenly believe otherwise? Get tae fuck, bawbag!
I'm not talking about a Trooping of the Colours or a parade of troops down Main St (or the Mall or the Champs-Elysées) or a few fighter jets buzzing a parade or a ball game. But scores and scores of regiments with tanks and missiles on trucks with a sky full of jets crisscrossing the sky? Just no.
