As a veteran, I want to express the opinion that the D.C. parade on Saturday (supposedly honoring the U.S. Army, not the current commander-in-chief) is not only a complete waste of $40 million, it looks like something Stalin or Putin or Kim Jong Un would do. Americans celebrate the end of wars but we don’t put on parades during peacetime. There has only been one military parade since the end of WWII and that was in 1991, celebrating the return of Americans from Iraq after pushing Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait.
