Who Dosen't Love a Parade?

I’ve got to say I am just simply amused at the faux outrage of the left over the idea of a military parade.  Not that I am all for the parade, we just had a big parade a year ago at the inauguration, but maybe the President wasn’t really ready for one then and would like it on a warmer day, but having the left accuse him of being a dictator and claiming this proves he is a fascist seems just a little out of touch with modern reality, and reflects the ideological corner they’ve painted themselves into by being avowed socialists.

I will grant that Mussolini probably liked parades, and there may even be a fascist dictator or two in South America who given their choice would have a military parade from time to time, but where have the really big military parades been? If we are going to make America great again who has set the standard for military parades?  Why those countries who’ve taken socialism to its ultimate conclusion of course.  The recognized leaders in the military parade field are Russia (although not as good as the USSR), China, and North Korea.  The next level would be France and Great Britain (although theirs are usually associated with some sort of anniversary for the Queen).  Finally, we come back to South America where Venezuela had them before they used up everyones money.

Clearly then, the desire to have a military parade comes from the desire to be a socialist and have everyone give the government all their money so the government can spend it wisely on great parades.  Therefore, I would suggest the left should truly embrace the idea that President Trump is moving to see their side of the spectrum and this is a symbolic shift in priorities.

Speaking of symbolism, every really great military parade needs a theme if it is to be successful.  As I noted above, the Brits have chosen the Queen’s anniversaries, the French have Bastille Day, the Communists have May 1^st (linked to shorter workers hours so there is time for the parade), and the North Korean’s have whatever day the Great Leader is bored. 

For this reason, I vote for April 15^th.  That is a day we come together as a nation to pay at least a percentage of our national credit debt.

I can see it now, we can begin by having the USN drive one of their LCAC’s down Pennsylvania Avenue.  It would deafen the crowd, blow over the cameras, and clean the street -- all in one fell swoop.   

Of course, the US Army would lead the way, as the oldest of the services.  They would all be wearing their proposed new WWII style pink and green suits and carrying their rifles (although how the secret service would confirm they are all unarmed would be a technical challenge).

Then comes the US Navy, maybe they could get those guys who make the Helium balloons for the Macy’s Day Parade to make copies of the fifty or so combat ready ships we have left and the crews of the other ships could walk them down the street. If not there is always Snoopy.

Next would be the USMC with their sharp dress uniforms and walking all in step carrying their rifles and yelling about some bar owned by a guy named Montezuma.

Finally, the USAF would come by with a couple of planes and maybe the special tactics airman.  You really don’t want the Air Force folks to attempt to march.  It wouldn’t be good for them, or the administration, to see that.

Some of you may be asking what about the US Coast Guard?  Good question.  Depending on what day of the week it is, they are, or are not, part of the US military forces.  If the parade is on the right day we would have to fit them in somewhere, but usually they are so busy manning navigational aids, breaking up ice, catching drug runners, fighting eco-terrorists, or saving lives of seamen and mountain climbers they probably don’t have anyone sitting around waiting to march in the first place.

Well, that is about it.  My thoughts on today’s media scandal with the President.  Think of it as just another chapter of “Get Trumped.”
