Well it was a 250 year B Day, so it served dual purposes. There is nothing wrong with celebrating your soldiers, is there? I mean really. You have parades for all kinds of reasons, the military shouldnt be at the bottom of that list.
All politician act like they support the military during certain times of the year. Otherwise they don't give a shit the rest of the time.
Of course they do, however Trump gets criticism because of what he's said in the past and the way he's acted in the past, and because people wonder why on earth he's doing a parade, something that isn't very American.
250th Anniversary of the US Army.
They probably didnt exist 250 years ago I suspect
All three branches (not including the Air Force, obviously) were founded in 1775.
All services have some type of celebrations and I would have no issue with the Navy and Marines having similar parades on their anniversaries. My family has served in every branch of the military.

Because each branch should be recognized individually for their service to this country, and I have no problem with that as someone who actually served (Army). So, in your scenario, when should that parade for the branches take place?

Was Someone Trolling Trump by Playing Creedence’s Draft-Dodger-Slamming ‘Fortunate Son’ at His Military Parade? Or Is It Just the Further Death of Irony?
Was the music for Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C. covertly programmed by the “No Kings” movement?

"That’s the question some were asking on social media after the event, spearheaded by President Donald J. Trump, which featured the repeated playing of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s classic “Fortunate Son” — a song that virtually the entire world knows by now was written during the Vietnam era as a slam against wealthy draft dodgers."
Or do you think Trump had it chosen just so he could rub it in the military's face and have a laugh at them?
In the song, it brings up the senator's son, the millionaire's son, and a military's son. CNM should've brought up the second one from the list, but there were plenty of people who used some kind of influence & college to either avoid getting drafted altogether or be placed in some cushy unit that didn't have much of a threat of being called into combat.
You said that there should've been one parade for the Army, Navy, & Marines. I asked you when should that hypothetical parade happen. That post doesn't answer the question at all. Since it can't happen, do you think that the Navy and Marines should have a parade at all? Try and actually answer the question this time.
