"The general did not address a question on whether it would be a good use of military resources."

“I am aware of the president’s request and we are in the initial planning stages to meet the president’s direction,” General Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a visit to the Thai capital Bangkok.

Dunford is the first top US military official to publicly address Trump’s longstanding wish for a large-scale military parade, which the White House confirmed Tuesday.

The general did not address a question on whether it would be a good use of military resources.

America normally reserves its military parades to mark the end of conflicts, such as in 1991 when President George H.W. Bush held a National Victory Parade in Washington to celebrate the end of the Gulf War.

Trump’s request may well be popular among many Americans but has drawn scorn from critics, who said it would be a waste of money and was akin to events organised by authoritarian regimes.

1. Part of the Trifecta

Kelly, Mattis, and Dunford...three men who have already taken the "Fuhrer Oath", swearing their eternal loyalty to President Trump and turning their backs on the United States and the Constitution!!!

2. Of course he didn't.

One does not publicly criticize a lawful command, however stupid: one gets on with it.

It is the role of civilians to mock the Great Orange Leader, not the military.
