I’m sure every loved being ordered to honor him on his birthday
The whole parade is just for him.
And it will spark protests all over.
Such a great thing to be concentrating on while war is breaking out. Well done, Donny.
It sounds like you're jealous. You ignore the fact that it's Flag Day / Army's birthday.
I'm thinking it wouldn't be hard to find supporters among the ranks of the military and law enforcement. I'm also thinking that "the wars" are a good thing in your world if it makes DJT look bad. This fake outrage routine is pretty hilarious.
You are absolutely clueless
You should try living in reality
Well done.

Recruiting numbers are up so people seem to believe in what is going on.
Nice to see after years of not hitting their numbers.

Mandatory fun, I hated that crap.

excluding anyone from an event like this would never happen. besides, the 82nd is a gung-ho group and, as a career officer, i'm pretty sure you'd have a difficult assignment finding anyone that wasn't a supporter. it would be interesting to see your basis for this claim other than speculation, conjecture, and personal opinion.
Screened for appearance and allegiance…
With certain military people’s recent statements re “court martial-able offenses, I think that you
do actually understand why he did this.
You would have behaved, but I definitely know of some who would not.
No, I would think that the President would welcome all paratroopers…
since he is the CIC. It’s a very low probability that any of them would speak out or cause a disruption. That’s the difference between the military and civilian population.
Unfortunately what we have is someone who’s insecure and only wants those that will praise and agree with him on everything. Also, the speech was weird and Trump didn’t mention anything about the glorious history and capabilities of the 82nd Airborne Division.

Not a low probability w crazy TDS’ers. Explain
conor if you don’t think it is a significant risk. Explain Gen Milley.
Also, why are you bothered when you didn’t want the parade anyways?
Bothered? Just pointing out facts…
And I’d have no problem with a parade that celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Army…not Trump’s birthday. And you’re kidding yourself if you think Trump isn’t thinking about that today.
I stand by my earlier point. ALL paratroopers should have been welcome. You’d understand this if you served and I don’t mean that as an insult. In uniform, politics don’t mean shit…at least not in my unit when I served.
