Yes, the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary celebration, including the planned military parade, was indeed planned before the election. Reports from Reuters indicate that planning for the event began at least a year prior, placing it before the November 2024 election. The parade is part of a larger year-long commemoration of the Army's 250th anniversary, with the theme "This we'll defend".

The celebration includes a week-long series of events, culminating in a national birthday celebration on June 14th in Washington, D.C. The parade will feature soldiers in period uniforms, showcasing the Army's history and role in U.S. wars. There will also be a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, live music, fireworks, and appearances by senior military leaders and veterans.

While the parade is officially part of the larger anniversary celebration, its timing on June 14th, which is also Trump's birthday, has drawn criticism and sparked debate about whether it is being used to celebrate him personally. Despite the controversy, the Army maintains that the parade is about celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and its service to the nation.

June 14th is also "Flag Day".

We have a trifecta of sorts on Saturday.

And as the Left has already started and shown, they have no respect or regard for the U.S. Army, the American Flag, and especially for POTUS Trump.

Now reconcile the additions to the per-scheduled event.

That event had soldiers on parade.
No aircraft (which the army no longer has)
No parade of Tanks, or other weapons and vehicles.

A parade of soldiers.

This ridiculous third world-esque parade was not.

From his cite. It was a foot parade of soldiers in period uniforms.
Showcasing all the ward the Army bravely fought in.

 

[Kilroy2]

A celebration for those who served.

Now Trump is in the picture and wants to be part of it as it coincidentally that is his birthday

I think this is a conflict. If this is their day , why is Trump birthday even mentioned?


Typivcal Trump behavior

it is Trumps birthday but he should be spending it with family. This is certainly Trumps idea to celebrate both as the army cannot refuse

Anyway to blow this up

Trump is a draft doger and refused to serve when called

Army must be pulling their hair as what can they do as he is the president.

Was Trump a 'draft dodger'?

With his signature flair for controversy, billionaire Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump challenged the Viet

www.politifact.com

Ronald Kuby, a criminal and civil rights lawyer and talk show host, appeared on WABC-AM in New York City on July 15, 2015, three days before Trump made his controversial comments. Kuby highlighted the multiple student deferments Trump received, and how he finally got a medical exemption that staved off the draft.

So when called to duty , his family pulled strings to get him out of that obligation

Now he wants to celebrate his birthday on their day.

This is going to blow up in his face.

the military had been planning a festival to celebrate their anniversary Trump attended France's Bastille Day which included a military parade, and loved the idea. There would be no parade without trump insisting on it.

In the US military parades highlight the soldiers. Not the weapons.

More disingenous bs from the trump nut suckers. The Army did not have what's planned for tomorrow as a celebration.

Helios are considered aircraft.

It is considered a training exercise.
Neither wasteful or fraudulent.
You on the other hand are both of those.

Those aren't brooms and mops on their shoulders.
