When I was a child, we saw pictures of military parades in the Soviet Union. We were told we don’t do that, that we’re proud of the fact that we don’t do that because we don’t wish to be a militarized society. Celebrating July 4 with army tanks on the National Mall is repugnant.

Should we ban the little musical groups w fifes n drums, too? How about William Tell Overture w canons often heard at 4th of July celebrations? How about fireworks, actually created purposely to be loud like bombs and weapons? You’re weird!

Countries with despots and dictators LOVE a military parade. You are right it is repugnant.

It’s a rally for Trump and the GOP paid for by the taxpayers. Nationalism is the existential threat of our time. #TrumpCrimeSyndicate

US history parades are filled with tanks. Growing up seeing many town home parades, I seen many of tanks. This is not new and only liberals cry about it...

Yeah, ok Miss "Spiritualistic Capitalism," perpetuate the Red Scare. Use donald trump (fascist) to really drive down that neo-liberal garbage propaganda. "Starting in 1941, the Soviet Union bore the brunt of the Nazi war machine & played perhaps the most important role -

but shooting flammables into the air to represent bombs bursting is just fine, right?
