In high school, I used to have to be part of an Independence Day parade. Did it with the dojo I trained/taught at, we’d have a bunch of students walking the route, we’d stop and do some basic moves for everyone. After the parade we’d have to do demonstrations at the park. As much as I liked doing demos back then, I always hated that parade, but that might just be an anti-parade bias (I don’t even like the Rose Parade).

Parade bias or not, there is something seriously wrong with Trump wanting something like this. Seriously, when was the last time the US staged some sort of military parade like this (not including Sherman’s March)?
