Trump's Veterans Day military parade could cost between $3 million and $50 million. Critics argue the money would be better spent helping homeless veterans. What do you think?

Tweet #ParadesAre4Dictators vs #ParadeOurStrength to vote!

And...the only response so far in favor of this silliness.

The military deserves a parade. We should be proud of our military and honor them as much as we can.

1. I was thinking

Let's honor our military vets by supporting the VA and caring for the ones who already served.

4. Honor them by taking care of them when they need help.

A parade is USELESS other than to further inflate the Orange Douche's ego even further.

Hudson Andrews drinks vast amounts of the koolaid.

6. If Putin tells his bitch to have a parade, we're having a parade. Simple as that. n/t

7. Trump doesn't want this parade to honor the vets. He'll make it all about himself.

8. How do we stop this stupid idea?????

The veterans NEED housing, financial help, better medical care.....NOT A DAMN PARADE.

9. Wait. Isn't the military honoring trump with a parade? He does not need another home he

wants a parade .
Hail to the Chief !

Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that is our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!

11. Fuck this!

That money should go to the vets! Why is it that they can never find money for vet healthcare but they can always find money for more war and stupid things like this?

12. The military doesn't want a stupid parade primarily because they are the ones who do all the

work, with prepping vehicles and rehearsals. It's a lot of work behind the scenes, to satisfy a fool's ego. The many hours and money spent prepping for a parade can be put to better use elsewhere. Trump is doing all this to satisfy his ego and to try and out perform the French and the parade that they put on when Trump visited France. What a fool he is. No wonder he went bankrupt 5 times.

16. 89 percent said no to Trump's military parade

Your Military

We asked, you voted: 89 percent said no to Trump’s military parade

By: Tara Copp ? February 8

As the Pentagon continues to work on parade options to present to President Donald Trump, an overwhelming number of Military Times readers have weighed in: Don’t have one.

The informal poll was launched Wednesday after news reports that Trump had requested a military parade and that the Pentagon was working on parade options for him.

As of Thursday afternoon, more than 51,000 readers had responded. The majority, 89 percent, responded “No, It’s a waste of money and troops are too busy.”

The other 11 percent responded “Yes, it’s a great opportunity to show off U.S. military might.”

On Thursday, Pentagon press secretary Dana White said any parade plans were in the very beginning stages, and that the Pentagon had tapped the Army to lead the effort.

“We are looking at several different options right now,” White said. “The Army is the executive agent. But we don’t have those options yet. Its still in nascent stages and when we have those options we’ll provide that to the White House and the president will decide.”

13. Will the Mummers be there? Will parade end with Trump in a sleigh?

[lpbk2713]

14. Spend money on his low level employees?

That's not likely to happen. Even if it is for their health and welfare.

Glorification of the Narcissist in Chief takes precedence.

15. Trump does not want to salute the military. He wants the world to see the military salute him.

Trump does not want to salute the military.
He wants the world to see the military salute him.

Will it be awkward when he refuses POWs a place in his parade?
After all, Donald does not like soldiers who were captured.

20. Love that strip!

So very accurate!

17. Help America's Veterans

And let the republican Draft Dodgers go to freaking Siberia to watch a parade. Our honorable enlisted personnel do not want to be forced to salute a freaking five-time republican draft dodger.

It's humiliating. republicans will ultimately be held accountable for this gross insult to America's Armed Forces. karma will kick their deceitful draft-dodging asses.

18. I'm going to protest with fellow veterans

19. Hudson Andrews clearly doesn't get it. The point of the parade is for the military to honor Don.
