Funny part is that, had they marched pretty, they'd be saying that the parade resembles those of North Korea or the Nazis.
I'd support training on snappy march drill over muh toxic masculinity in a FUCKING ARMY
I know, and Trump has made it part of his aesthetic with "Fortunate Son" and "YMCA" at his rallies. And for what it's worth, I think it fits for what he's doing, but for a military parade it just doesn't work imo. Imagine if Japan played J-pop at their military parades. Boomer rock is a cornerstone of American culture at this point, for better or worse.
A parade is a great opportunity for a military to present itself to the public and the world as something well ordered and attractive. If you go outside, do you not iron your shirt and take a shower so you look presentable?
Now it’s our turn to be Greatest Ally.
I'm pretty sure the kids watching the parade in person like the friendly soldiers and comfy music.
That sounds so faggy. No wonder American kids end up troons.
I wasn't born here, but I'm enjoying this parade a lot. It actually looks like the army put it together. It's not a flashy, sham, Super Bowl looking shitshow obviously funded by military industrialists and bankers. Even the band sounds like a bunch of local geezers who only got this gig because a four-star general goes to the shore shack they're usually playing.
Our men fought bled and died in those hell holes. Shut the fuck up traitor.
You literally can't win. Either it's "lame" or it's "fascist". It's like, bruh. Just let me watch tanks roll down the street, it's cool
I shower, but who wastes time ironing these days? If you have a pair of dress clothes that you need to look pristine, just take them to a dry cleaner and hang them up untouched the rest of the time.
Yeah and? They would have liked it if the soldiers were goose stepping and the battle hymn of the republic was playing too. They would have liked it if Ronald McDonald led the congregation and the soldiers shot at the guests with water guns. Kids like anything, a parade should instill a sense of pride among the population and fear among the enemies.
We don't need to. The US Army is the most lethal fighting force on the planet and its not even close. This is an exceptional event for the 250 year anniversary. We are humble unlike most nations.
What's the problem then? This parade is pleasant. I can't even imagine jeering at this just because it doesn't look like Darth Vader put it together.
Americans are a lot of things, humble isnt one of them.
Seems like most people agree it was a mistake, needless loss of life to feed the military industrial complex.
Yeah, about that...
Tv shows for kids used to be fucking terrifying. Now it's sanitized beyond anything resembling human condition. We are just grooming our kids to become losers.
