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

I'm actaully not against the idea of military parades/ceremonies but I think they should be focused on the local community rather then a national display. I think our local communities easily lose touch with the veterans and service members who come from those communities when we have grand scale ceremonies like this. Let's keep doing and encourage parades, Vet Town Hall meetings, etc, at a local level where there a tangible connection between the citizens and it's vets.

After reading some of the comments concerning the POTUS and cost etc, I am amazed that no one mentions the thousands of man hour, and millions spent on annual Air Show, open houses and such done annually. What is the budget for the Thunder Chickens, Blue Angels, Golden Knights etc? And how many troops have a weekend ruined for those? Annually, no way but there hasn't been one since Bush Senior WTF not. How many would be bitching if Hillary or Obama wanted one but then we know how much they hated the military.

Not only no, but Hell No!

As a observer it would be great. As a troop marching it would suck. Have marched it parades at Ft Bliss and was not fun. Everyone else enjoyed it but us marching. Dog and pony shows were never my thing.

While I can understand the intent, I think that the time and money would be better spent elsewhere. Large ceremonies are already annoying to most troops from what I've seen, so this would probably be more annoying than most. I never understood the point of division reviews. Sure there is the tradition aspect, but it serves no functional purpose. I think this way about many ceremonial aspects of the military. Just my 2 cents.

Yes but NO. Do it when we have a reason to celebrate...like when the last of the deployed come home.

Beloved Leader will be upset

Eh...

I wouldn't want to do it. A one-time parade, wouldn't be too irksome I guess, but to do it annually? Pass. Hard pass.

Besides, its not like we really need to show off anyway. We're not omnipotent, but it's no secret just how powerful our abilities and equipment really are. Its like the military equivalent of the guy who buys a brand new Corvette and revs his engine next to a dude in a AMC Pacer at a stoplight. Just what are we trying to prove here?

I'm more of a "speak softly, and carry a big stick" kind of guy, to quote Teddy Roosevelt.

Hell no. The millions of dollars can go to improve veterans healthcare, increase mental healthcare and homeless.
We all look forward to having the day off not preparing for s POS CINC

I think not, that being said ,I have fond memories of our Division (4th Inf) having a review shortly before our deployment to Vietnam in 1966 ,it was done on post Ft.Lewis and attended by the local civilian and family groups,still remember that time when we were all so young proud.
