All were generals. All were presidents. None requested a military parade.

2. In that Officer's Club in the other world

Dwight Eisenhower is saying things you wouldn't write on an latrine wall.

5. Yes, Ike is probably furious.

In fact the whole bunch, as well as the deceased statesmen and women of Congress and the Supreme Court are probably spinning in their graves because of this idiot.

12. Hayes is losing his mind over the nepotism

I've been reading some of his letters and journal entries. He fought hard against patronage and nepotism, even suffering some damage to personal relationships but he fought for a civil service with integrity and fought to free it from politics as much as possible.

3. trump plays army....they actually experienced it.

[smirkymonkey]

4. That is what makes this even more insane!

Cadet Bone Spurs got 5 deferments and never even SERVED in the military, let alone became a general, and he wants OUR military to have a parade in honor of HIM? I have never heard of anything so ridiculous and narcissistic in my life.

LOCK HIM UP!!!

7. And look where he ended up

Hung by his feet in the square along with his mistress. Not a pretty picture.

8. and I guarantee you that our forefathers didn't give control of the military to ...

someone like this for the purpose of parading around on display.

Get tRUMP some plastic soldiers and tanks and let him play w/ those. He probably won't know the difference.

Remember our forefathers were very reluctant to have a large standing military.

9. Why is Putin making him have a parade?

Wait. Does this mean war for profit?

10. This should go VIRAL.. this is

devastating to the Russian mole.

11. Only one comment: the Mad King is demanding this, not "requesting"

Disgusting piece of work

[former9thward]

13. Not really.

Our history has been full of military parades. Johnson requested one after the Civil War. There were parades after WW I, and during and after WW II. Eisenhower and Kennedy both requested military parades as part of their inaugurals (Kennedy had missiles on Pennsylvania Avenue as part of his). Bush had one in 1991 after the Gulf War.

People have really short memories.
