What is your opinion on the news of Trump wanting a parade like North Korea has? Is he becoming a fool, unstable or in need of mental help?

I think that he is wanting to show appreciation and to show off at the same time. Show everyone that "America is great again" like we were in the 40's.

He actually got the idea from being in attendance at the Bastille Day celebration in France.... which they do every year... It's basically their 4th of July...

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Why not? We stole their rank system, officer system and basic military format, slapped a flag on it and rebranded. Let's not forget we wouldn't exist without the French.

I am ok with a military parade (support your troops/ honor guard etc). I am not ok with a pretentious "show of force" parade as if we have something to prove.
I don't know if he's foolish or if he just believes he has something to prove.
But honestly like I said, I think a military parade would be nice. Show off the different branches in their uniforms. Maybe have a historical segment to showcase the uniforms of our forebears. I've always liked military events like family days and such where the public is able to get a glimpse of our military in a positive light.

Then he could save us all a lot of grief and aggravation by simply visiting our museums.

Plenty of countries have military parades to "show off" their might, and why not? America has our hand in every conflict around the world, yet people here like to just not think about it and pretend that the military isn't that important.

Countries that parade to show off have something they are trying to prove, we do not.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Maybe, but claiming that it makes the President in "need of mental help" is a silly thing to say considering how many other countries do it. He might need mental help for other things, but I don't see this as being one of those things.

He needs help for his problems with Sexual Harassment, Emoluments Violations, What it means to Govern Properly, Constitutional History,American History, How to read and Ettiquette...the list grows by the second and we have NO time for a learning curve. Trump is a joke and should he ADMIT that he needs help (what am I saying he's a coward and only the Brave admit they need help), then will we as a nation stand a chance.

SGT Christopher Hayden - He need s help because WE DO NOT DO it what others do is utterly and complete irreverent, we do not put on big shows of military power, we do not drive tanks down the the streets of our nations capitol, and we do not t do so so cadet bone spurs can preen and play soldier,
