Once again,when will Trump start telling his supporters to enlist to make the Military great again?
If you enlist now you brave supporters could be in ā€œThe Paradeā€.

This trick might be handy

ā€œOne of the myths about Tordenskiold has entered into the Danish and Norwegian languages. During the negotiations for Marstrandā€™s surrender in 1719, it is told he had his men move from block to block as he was walking the Marstrand commander through his positions, thus convincing the commander that his strength was much greater than it actually was. This gave birth to the idiom ā€œTordenskjoldā€™s soldiersā€ (Danish: Tordenskjolds soldater),[2] denoting the same group of people (feeling compelled to) repeatedly taking charge and fill multiple roles.ā€

I respectfully disagree. They need to tell him: ā€œFUCK NO!ā€

Youā€™re not wrongā€¦ itā€™s just that your answer lacks sufficient emphasis, in my opinion.

My heart swells with pride for these kids. This is the future folks. No military parade can match the patriotism of these young people.

Bingo

A retired colonel summarizes just how unpopular the idea is inside the military. And its a logistical nightmare to boot.

We need an instrumental marching band version of this song, written by Phil Ochs.

Or ā€“ just a thought here ā€“ the troops controlling the rocket launchers accidentally shoot one off? Like, towards the reviewing stand?

Donā€™t let this Multi Million Dollar donation to your parade in any way influence your weapons buying programā€¦

This is simply stupid.

Asking for donations fences this in as a ridiculous request and ego trip.

So this is what the world observes. Our President wants to show off the military might of our nation. But the military publicly acknowledges itā€™s too strapped for funds to stage the show, and goes begging for private contributions to make it happen.

Um, I suppose demanding the parade has shown the world something, but Iā€™d assert itā€™s not the message Trump intended to send.

ā€œIā€™d beat you in a race between our cars!! Can you loan me a couple bucks for some gas?ā€

I will under bid you. I will do the ā€œplanningā€ for just $25,999,995.99 rather than the $26 million that I suspect you were thinking of charging.
