Do you want to watch the 250th Army parade?

Yes it was for the Army. Trump's birthday just happens to be the same day, also JD Vance's anniversary.  

I am sure it was expensive.  But several networks were saying it was likely cheaper exposure for recruitment than advertising would have cost. This post was edited by my2cents at June 15, 2025 4:05 PM MDT

It was a $45 million snoozefest.  Vlad and Little Kim must still be laughing their butts off.

Maybe Trump didn't realize thar the US military isn't about a flashy performance. This post was edited by Jane S at June 16, 2025 10:58 AM MDT

If Trump gets it his way he will have the Turrets on top of tanks painted to look like MAGA hats. Cheers!

Our troops know how to march in step.  I believe this was their way of showing their disdain for the "spectacle" in which they were forced to participate.

The president doesn't respect our military.  He thinks the ones who were killed or captured are suckers and losers.

I don't know anyone who disrespect the military simply because they don't respect the commander-in- chief. In fact, most of the people with my political views are appalled by Trump's lack of respect for the military.

In my opinion the posts above are disrespectful to our military.  

Perhaps you could have asked for clarification, if you had a problem with the posts,  instead of jumping to conclusions and making accusations of hatred and disrespect. I have never and would never, disrespect the military. You would not accept anyone making that comment about yourself that you just made about others.

Then how do you explain your video you posted a link to? 

You mean the video showing that our military are trained for combat, not to perform as synchronized goose steppers for their leader? 

You know what you posted. And yes I consider it complaining about our soldiers marching ability. 
But I am sure you do not see it that way...

I posted a video and a comment that said our military isn't about flashy displays. No disrespect in that. You may virtue signal by deleting TDS comments, but accusing me of disrespecting the military because of hatred for the president is exactly the same thing. 

The video is disrespecting the way our troops walked in the parade.  It is not the only video/comment I have seen attacking them.  As I said I cannot imagine hating Biden enough to attack our armed forces.  

The video is disrespecting Trump for expecting our combat-ready troops to be like the goose stepping soldiers of dictator run regimes. Please stop accusing me of disrespecting the military, lying about it, and being so blinded by hatred that I would do either of those things. 

Likewise I cannot imagine having my head so far up the President's  rear that I couldn't be objective about his ignorance, his corruption, and his cruelty. This post was edited by Jane S at June 20, 2025 3:07 PM MDT

The music played behind our troops is very disrespectful to them. It sounds like clown music...

Yes of course it insults Trump ( I would expect nothing less) .  But it also insults our troops.  Any unbiased person who watches with sound can clearly see and hear it.   This is why Spunky posted a defense of them. 

Stick to expressing your OWN opinion instead of making accusations about MY intent. The video I  posted was the only one I could find that was not on YouTube and which showed what dictator military parades look like.. Some members cannot access YouTube from aMug. I didn't play the sound, but since it is Russian praganda and clearly identified as such, the music would likely reflect that.

Any unbiased person would not continue to insult and disrespect another member who clearly and repeatedly gave clarification of their intentions.  Too bad we don't have a moderator who follows the same rules she holds others to. You should be ashamed of yourself.

That kind of hurt my feelings because I have always put a lot of time and thought into aiming my disrespect at Trump – not the American people or it’s military.

Example

Trump: Knock knock.

Low income school kid: Who’s there?

Trump: Donald.

Low income school kid: Donald who:

Trump: The Donald that just had a glorious 50 million dollar military parade. Did you see it?

Low income school kid: No I was too busy fighting hunger all day.

Cheers!
