I certainly could be wrong, but after 8 years of being beaten up by Obama, his administration, the media here and around the world, Trump may think the military needs something to spur them on. When I was in, I certainly did not like the idea of being in a parade, but you do what you are told - end of story. Patriotism in this country has fallen off tremendously and maybe a show of force will bring it back. However, just looking at the replies here would indicate the idea of spotlighting Amerca's military might and it's men and women (gays, trannies, or whatever gender) looking to pump people up in the military, and putting the military in a positive light will fail. It reminds me of the patriotic malaise of Viet Nam. Sad, truly sad.
