commented after an article in my local paper about this ridiculous parade that Comrade Donnie wants. I asked why we can't take the money that it would cost and honor our military by giving it to the VA instead.

Of course, I was assailed by the usual conservative zealots for expressing "typical liberal hate" for our armed forces, and for being unpatriotic.... A few of them said, " It's obvious that you never served." (implying that THEY have).

Well, no, I've never served. But I've read comments by many who have, like you, kairos12, who think these kinds of parades are a big waste of time and a pain in the ass. Thank you for confirming for me that not all military members look forward to being Comrade Donnie's ego prop.
