Should the Pentagon host a grand full regalia military parade down Penn Ave every Veterans Day?

If anything it should be voluntary for Service members to participate. I believe it would serve as a Morale booster.

Yes simply putting it I think we need to take more Pride in ourselves and in those who serve. Maybe it would help bring better people into the service which would be a good thing

Originally I thought hell yeah. Then my next thought led to sure if... all of our schools are safe. All bridges, roads, airports were up to snuff. Then only then should be use tax payer dollars (also our dollars) to fund the pomp and circumstance. Our country clearly isn't what it was once hence MAGA became a thing. Our youth for the most part is soft. A parade say, every five years or so would be feasible. Not every year. I mean if Congress can give themselves raises on our dime why can't we show off our might once in awhile? I'd proudly march in such a parade.

Perhaps every 5 years or so, not every year. I think for
The most part allow Veterans advocacy groups VFW, American Leagon, CVMA and others to do it annually.

Every Vet day would be a bit much. If we knew how to march I'd say okay. But compared to most countries that do those parades we look really tacky.

When did the display of patriotism and concern for our military die in America? I do not think it has. It’s just that a few have disdain for our troops, veterans and country AND have the liberal platform to get the attention of their agenda. By the way, I am 75, a Vietnam Vet who, like most Americans, loves his country and supports the troops and fellow Vets.

Sure might be fun. All these others claiming the president is a dictator, how much will it cost etc. Does anyone ever think when near the end of the fiscal year, the unit goes on a mad spending spree to use up money? All the useless widgets bought so they can claim they used the money? How much we spend on cost over runs, a parade could boost the countries morale. We used to do those kind of things. There are millions of uniformed service persons near the DC area

A yearly military parade would just become more background noise to the confusion and disarray that the Federal Government provides the American public daily. For a Military Parade to have greater impact on the National Psyche, it should not be a annual occurring event. Rather it should be held once every four years in concurrence with the Presidential Inauguration. With whomever is the President at the time leading the procession. This should then reinforce the message that the President is Commander In Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Additionally as a Quadrennial Event it can be budgeted well in advance, and Units can be stood up for the event with less overall impact on their annual training cycle. But as for an annual parade, that would become a major detractor in Unit Readiness through out the calendar year. As for the elemts to be involved the Details at Henederson Hall/McNair, Andrews AFB and Navy Yard and Coast Guard District, could supply the Spit and Polish desired with minimal impact as they already have troops assiggnments for Daily Details at Arlington. We do not need a full blown Brigade Sided Element for a Military Parade.

it would be such a worthless dog and pony tasking hundreds of troops. As a log type I would hate to see what the S-3 types and PR gods devised, totaly unsupportable by left to the Log guys to figure out . If it is on a power point slide, it must be so!
