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.

When you were a child, you were lied to. You are a member of a society that has been - for well over a century - the most militarized on Earth, with the biggest budgets and the most foreign wars. You may as well cheer the military that made your country so rich. Why deny reality?

When I was a kid, I collected Operation Desert Storm trading cards because military equipment was cool.

We should have a military parade every year. Every April 15th. So Americans can see where half their income tax goes.

Sadly we're becoming a snitching society just like the Soviet Union too. If your neighbors aren't wronging you, leave them alone. npr.org/templates/story/stor…

The hell is wrong with a military parade? Might as well recognize them for their service over the last twenty years of thankless, pointless war.
