Why does wanting a military parade upset liberals so much?

    Liberals spit on soldiers during the Vietnam war who had no control where their country sent them. This is the new thing liberals are doing to show their hate for the military and authority.

    No true "conservative" would ever support such a massive waste of funds, either. Certainly not for vanity's sake.

    We should have a march of disabled and homeless veterans

    Because he doesn't really care about the military. We all know Trump is just wanting a parade in his own honour

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ obviously the money couldn't be better spent? No doubt veterans are awash in cash, not in need of assistance? That's why those who suffered disproportionately thanks to Bush Jr' war, ousted him, than refused to vote for war monger H Clinton.

    A parade from a superpower to say what "we're head poncho, if don't do as told, you'll be minced"?

    America is the NUMBER 1 global arms seller.

    Plus since America is the ONLY country to have nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with questions still outstanding was it to test if their new toy actually worked, as well to say to USSR, by its very actions, "see! Don't mess with us", as well as whitewashing the effects of those bombs via hollywood, to neuter the campaign for nuclear disarmament, a military parade is just the thing, to reassure, NOT.

    What's the point of it? Not exactly as if the American game plan is to actually win "a war", much less the "war on terror", "war on drugs" etc. Not exactly as if the idle rich who wax lyrically about patriotism, actually serve on the front line, putting their over delicate, fragile, necks on the line! B Clinton didn't. Bush jr coasted thanks to his father pulling the strings, not even bothering to show up. And poor old Trump, who doesn't know about his bone spurs.

    And since when have America's war been a necessity? America knew in advance about pearl harbor. American businesses in the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash actually armed Nazi Germany, since during the depression profits were thin on the ground, until the outbreak of hostilities. WW2 brought an end to the era of depression.

    Not to mention, WW2 jettisoned America into the superpower status. What Britain lost, America gained, a vast trading empire.

    Wars = profits.

    As for 9/11 there are too many inconsistencies, too many loose ends, like who profited from insider trading, via placing bets before the planes hit! Since there was no naming of the individuals, no crowing, there is obviously something to hide!

    Whilst Americans chose to be willfully myopic, citing "humanitarian intervention" those not residing in America are not so gullible.

    Democrats = Republicans = neoliberalism, so the idea there's a difference, pah.

    Since everyone in America is filthy rich, no doubt the parade isn't needed as distraction?

    Liberal america is ashamed of our military power because they view it as a symbol of aggression and as an unnecessary expense since in their mind military might is not important and even the most fraught conflicts can be resolved with diplomacy. When your entire worldview relies on what you wish was true, it makes sense why weaponry bothers you. Emotion is allowed to trump (pun intended) Rationality in liberalism, thus the distaste for the parade.

    Cause they say no to others when they would say yes to themselves

    A parade to salute the military with soldiers proudly marching and an army band playing sounds great. A parade of military weapons just so Trump can stand up and act like he's a great leader is very dictatorship.

    Libs like to stick to their narrative that armed forces members are idiots and baby killers and so a parade celebrating them goes against everything the Libs stand for .
