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

There are parades for every subgroup in America and yet we don’t honor our real heoes with a specific parade that draws attention to their sacrifices.

If the parade was for the military men and women, yes, by all means. Everyone knows this is for the orange orangutan.

Birmingham, Alabama has the largest and oldest Veteran's Day parade in the U. S. It showcases own fine branches of the military. Most impressive.

NO. The only reason why this question is being raised is because of trump viewing the military parade in France. All that is, is another way to stoke his already fragile EGO.

Absolutely not!

All to make a man happy. Absolutely not! None of this does any draining of the swamp.

I see nothing wrong with it marched in many a parade during my 24 years and 6 months of active service. Join the Army at 18 and never looked back. So I guess you can say I am old fashioned believe in the Constitution, love of country, helping my brothers when they fall short in life, I guess I am just and old 1sg who seen a lot in my 78 years, But I would do it all over again in a Chicago minute. Yes I still think a parade is fine. And if I could I would attend and salute each unit as the pass by. Have a nice day

Why the hell not? I marched in a parade with my unit through downtown Dallas for the 4th of July parade. I've been in several other parades since then. The benefit of the parade is not for those who are in it. As much as it is for those who are watching it. The cheers come more from the gallery than those on display.

For all you whiney snivling cry babies. So many forget the many other duties that are required of you while in uniform. SOLDIERS piss and moan about everything. But seeing a field grade on here, putting on here their unprofessional opinion about our Commander in Chief, shame on you. I suppose you preferred Obama instead? Lets not for the BS you field grades put Soldiers through for your own self gratification upon your change of command ceremonies. The countless hours of practicing in blazing hot weather during the week before then to have them stand there for hours listening to you prattle on about how "magnificent" you are. You honestly that delusional to think that the Soldier's give a damn?? The dumbest statements I've heard from many field grades is, "Its for the Soldier's". STFU!!!

I am in favor of this. What this nation needs is morale building. Especially if it comes from those who serve. And logistics and equipment?? Remember the Berlin Brigade?? I wasn't able to do the Desert Storm parade bc we were still in the desert performing duties of border security etc until June when we went back to Germany and no ceremonies when we touched down. My old retired 27 yrs tanker butt would be proud to ride the beast in DC. This is an honor.

Oh...and to those field grades here bashing the president and this parade. I bet you were one of those young LTs back in the late 90s that bitched and complained about having we Soldiers doing funeral missions for our veterans. Oh God forbid we use our men to conduct full military honors for them. So you rat bast*rds made sure to disrespect them with having only 2 service members show up and with a boom box playing taps from a CD.

Time for you to retire. Because your toxic. Discipline and standards gentlemen. LDRSHIP.
