Yeah, the same goes at this point with anyone who does it. I go look at the person in question and their record. People should be loyal to the USA as a whole, not just one man.
I believe the USA is in Great PERIL, with Incompetence of this PRESIDENT and his REGIME PICKS.
Trump has already STARTED, It is ALREADY DONE, and HE HAS DEPLOYED THEM, National Guard and ACTIVE DUTY "MARINES", 4,700 AGAINST CALIFORNIA, with Preparations for the Entire NATION.
This is wildly off base. It's clear the author hasn't spoken to anyone who has served over the last 10-20 years. The reality is that the military has been injected with politics since the Obama administration and this process ess greatly accelerated during the Biden Administration.
I remember when Obama became president, there was an immediate shift. Suddenly all of these mandatory trainings and lessons on sensitivity, the importance of women in leadership, etc… let's not forget the “female ranger” scandal. Once Biden was elected, mandatory trainings on gender theory and why transsexuals were a “force multiplier” became a yearly requirement. Conservatives and Christians were explicitly targeted, first at the officer level with many being dismissed for speaking out against the new requirements; then the enlisted by new commanders willing to go along with the left wing political nonsense.
I know guys who had 16-18 years of stellar service, some of them promoted to E7 in 7 years, some in battalion and brigade command positions - all with 4-6 years of service in combat - who opted to get out early, sacrificing their retirement, because things had gotten so bad they simply couldn't do it any more… but yes, a parade is an unacceptable “politicization” of the military.
Holding military parades to mark historic occasions and benchmarks is not “politics,” it's normal. Most European countries hold large military parades on at least a yearly basis. In France, for example, there is a large parade on the Champs-Élysées every Bastille Day. In Aubagne, a suburb of Marseille, the Foreign Legion marches on parade for Cameroon Day.
This article reveals both an ignorance of recent US military policy and history, and a blind hatred of anything Trump does. While there's plenty to criticize him for, this ain't it chief.
So Far we still have 1st Amendment Freedom, and you opinion is Noted,
Yet VERY, VERY God awfully PRO "TRUMPISM FASCISM" , Parades are a Simple thing in the USA, not an OBSCENE GESTURE that this Felon DIC TRAITOR "ORDERED" , this is like USA Historical Adversaries, have done and STILL DO. Not EVEN A large Portion of Trumpist Senators or Representatives will attend this MESS!
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're arguing for. Are you arguing to say that it's acceptable behavior for a president to do this, or unacceptable?
You list all the reasons that during the Obama administration, the left had done an injustice towards those who deserved more, while then dismissing the entire article as irrelevant and redundant....
Thank you, Jim for writing what many of us are thinking.
At this point, when an idiot like trump calls educated, experienced, highly respected people “dumb”, I remind myself to just consider the source.
Yeah, the same goes at this point with anyone who does it. I go look at the person in question and their record. People should be loyal to the USA as a whole, not just one man.
Thanks for your Opinion, and Statement,

This IS "FASCISM", this is the FACE of TRUMPISM !
It is incredible to me that he so easily made such a horrific decision. The shooting or reporters disturbs me as well.

What exactly is it you're after here?
