Trump Reportedly Wants Pentagon To Stage Military Parade Down Pennsylvania Ave.

Sorry, I was wrong.

 

With Nikki Haley partially obscured.

 

The link I posted was to Fox

 

I can only suggest.

 

Again, how does this contradict anything I said?

 

I strongly believe that there needs to be a verification here that it was a standard policy that the bolts be removed during parades from ceremonial rifles. Anyone else want to help me and search for the truth ?

 

Yes, but a parade through Washington would have been a hoot.

The weekend pass after the parade would have been even better.

 

I did not see your link

 

No, I don't consider "a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation" to our servicemen and women all about Trump. We had a similar celebration in Richmond, VA and I didn't consider it all about our mayor, city council, the organizers, etc., either.

Shocking.

Ah, you must be one of the "smart" ones who backed the "progressive" failures in 2016. Obviously, you all are wrong about a lot of things...

 

Where's the Hitler-esque goose-stepping squadron?

 

I'd be interested to see what you can find. I found a mention that the 2009 inauguration didn't require bolts to be removed but no mention of other inaugurations.

 

I think a military parade where people can show how much we love and appreciate them would be a great idea. No wonder the liberals hate it so much.

 

Did the Mayor and City council demand a military parade? That's what Trump is doing.

 

Where does it say that Obama ordered it?

 

In the United States of America, the military reports to the civilian government.

Until Ronald Reagan started doing it, NO us President EVER saluted a member of the military. They don't salute servants.

Which does not mean that they don't honor and respect them.

But holding military parades with tanks and missiles, which is what Trump has been aluding to for some time, is what the Kremlin does, not what we do.

 

I know that we have ceremonial old 1903 Springfields that my post acquired way before Inwas a member came with the bolts welded. They are probably from WWI or the 1920's.

I found one link but it would not open the other crap was opininions from political forums just like ours and the Fox viewers all claimed that Obama personably removed the bolts... the night before and that Michelle and his MIl and Hillary helped. Ok the MIL was a joke.

 

Uh, come again? "Servants"?!?

Newsflash: Just because an individual has a lower rank, they are still a proud member of the US Armed Forces. Not a "servant."

Plenty of western nations do the same including the recent example of France.

 

I think doing something actually meaningful to improve the lives of the military is a less totally empty way of showing how much you appreciate them.

 

No reason we can't do both.

 

It just wasn't U.S. Marines who were ordered to remove their bolts but all military units in the parade be it M-16's or M-14's had their rifles bolts or firing pins removed from their rifles making them inoperable.

When my son, a commissioned officer of Marines was at Quantico Marine Base and President Obama came aboard the base all Marines were ordered to turn in their riles and pistols to the armory. They took it as an insult, they didn't have to turn in their weapons when Bush, Clinton, Reagan or any other President visited a military installation.

It got worse under Obama. Be it that Obama hates the U.S. military or just those who served or he just didn't trust the military in fear of a military coups (???) all live ammunition was ordered to be removed from the Washington Marine Barracks. So when the Washington Navy Yard terrorist attack occurred in September of 2013 the U.S. Marines were unable to respond because they had no ammunition.

The Few, The Proud, The Unarmed
A barracks full of Marines could have responded to the Navy Yard shooting, but asinine military policy dictates they remain unarmed.

The Marine Corps Barracks in D.C. are located at 8th and I, SE, about four blocks from the Navy Yard. It's entirely possible that Marines, on foot, could have been at the scene as fast or faster than the police, but it turns out they were unarmed. The Media Research Center interviewed a man on Tuesday who told them, "My son was at Marine Barracks -- at the Navy Yard yesterday - and they had weapons with them, but they didn't have ammunition. And they said, 'We were trained, and if we had the ammunition, we could've cleared that building.' Only three people had been shot at that time, and they could've stopped the rest of it."..

No reason to force the troops to go through the bullshit of having to do a parade.

 

Its ok for feral savages to march down streets.

Its ok for 99% nude men to march down streets.

Its ok for clowns in giant vagina hats to march down streets.

Its ok for illegal immigrants to march down streets.

But somehow its not ok for soldiers to march down streets?

I don't know if the Mayor and City Council asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation. I attended the celebration, I didn't organize it.

It's a shame Obama didn't.

 

It was likely Valerie Jarrett who ordered it.

Valerie Jarrett is not part of the U.S. military chain of command but she thought she was.

Who issued an unlawful order for U.S. Marines to violate their own regulations and to carry umbrellas ?

Not even the Commander in Chief can issue an unlawful order and ignore the military chain of command.

When Obama's Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates was in Afghanistan at a command post he noticed a telephone and asked what was the telephone was for ? He was informed it was a direct line to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (Obama's White House) Sec of Def Gates ordered the phone lines to be ripped out. Obama was in direct violation of the chain of command.

Who issued an unlawful order for U.S. Marines embassy guards in Yemen to violate their 11 General Orders and the U.S. Military Code of Conduct to disarm themselves and to destroy their weapons ?

President Obama either ignored the military chain of command or never understood how it works. The U.S. military chain of command is written by Congress not by the President, it's the law.

 

If I were the Secret Service responsible for the life of the first black President of the United States I might have taken the same precautions. None of us have any idea of the kind of threats that were made towards Obama. Perhaps those of us with a reasonable mind can get a pretty good idea of what the Secret Service had to deal with just by the volume of negative/racist comments we read on this forum.
