    Right, nothing more......

    I'm fairly confident there is a significant percentage of the population who would have put aside their differences with EX President Obama to honor members of the Military who protect and defend our country.

    Well, here's the good news, rockk - Trump has finally figured out a way to run every "progressive" out of Washington. :lol:

    Nothing gets the Million Mogadishus Crowd more upset than public displays of affection for America and the men and women who defend it...

    Oh ****. When was the last time we had the military march down pennsylvania ave? Oh never? So why now?
    Just admit it. This has NOTHING to do with honoring the military. It's a thinly veiled tribute to der fuhrer.

    You are wrong about the second point. Just because most of the country can see that Dirty Donald is unfit to be president does not mean that we don't support the military.

    Well, dog whistles do signal a daily feeding is ready for consumption.

    Geeze, who would have thought a suggestion to honor our Military would expose so much dislike of it.

    Of course that is only your unsubstantiated opinion. However, your admission of hating the former president certainly colors much of your perspective on everything else that's going on in our country.

    I believe the idea is to honor our Military members for their sacrifice and duty.

    Interesting how opposed some segments of society is to that concept.

    Why, one could begin to believe there is such emotional horror in some, nothing the President does would ever be acceptable to them.

    You're right it is very interesting it's interesting how so many folks are so appreciative of the veterans and do so much for veterans and yet we see all these veterans struggling everyday

    A pile of bullshit. Trumpists have created a litany of buzzwords to give their low iq worshipers an easy, ready made response so that they don't have to engage in critical arguments.
    Fake news, tds, triggered, dog whistle, etc, etc...
    Hey boot lickers, you just make yourselves look stupid when you are forced into this corner of argumentation.

    Your understanding of the definition of parade is backwards. A parade honors the individual standing on the reviewing stand not the other way around. That's the purpose of 'eyes right'. If you don't know what that is, Google.

    "Dropping a Godwin" is a made-up idea that literally has no bearing on reality or history.

    Let's end the conversation on that statement we can agree on. Glad to hear that you love history, as there will be much written about Trump and his Hitleresque movement. It's okay that you don't see it now, many of Hitler's supporters didn't recognize him for the monster he was until years after the war, either.

    In a military parade, honor goes to the people on the reviewing stand who receive the eyes right and the salute of the people marching.

    Is Trump going to be marching or in the reviewing stand? Are the troops going to be marching or in the reviewing stand?

    Who ever is in the reviewing stand is the one being honored.

    Eisenhower was in his first term when I was born. My father served in WWII.

    I understand the picture the left's media partners are painting of this parade is being pulled from the archives of May Day parades across Red Square, or the PLA being reviewed by Mao, etc..

    That is just to trigger the expected response from the target audience.

    As I try to avoid wasting time, I think you've established you objectivity sufficiently here, and I get you're against honoring the Military in the manner the President seems to have suggested.

    Can't imagine you coming up with any additional words worthy of further review on my part, since it's clear where you are coming from on this issue.

    I am a Vet and I see homeless Vets being brought into our VA hospital who are homeless and yes it is sad but in all honesty some portion of these guys would have ended up homeless even if they were not Vets.

    My department is just around the corner from Volunteer Services where homeless or needy Vets are given free ( donated ) clothes and stuff . The irritating thing is that some of them get confused and come to my window and demand to know where the "clothing store" is or why isn't it open even though I tell them you are in the wrong department. Over the several years I have begun to recognize the repeaters - those who come in every few months looking for " free stuff".

    It was gotten to the point where a portion of the homeless and other Vets just demand that we hand them "stuff".

    One guy recently kicked over one of our signs because he was pissed off because one of our docs did not give him pain meds.

    We had one Vet who was so pissed at not getting a refill script for pain pills that he called up the paid worker in our department and threatened to come back and shoot us.

    We had to stop having coffee in our waiting room for our patients because the homeless vets would come in take Kcups sugar creamer and shove them in their pockets with no care that they stripped us clean and we did not have any more for our patients.

    . Sometimes our fellow Vets are not good guys .

    I would actually favor a naval review, like they sometimes do in England.

    Kids like this kind of stuff. And the grown-up citizen may actually have a peak at his taxes' fruits.
