    I think it’s fair to extend out of military tradition though when the leader to impress is a fat draft dodging commander-in-chief wearing a shitty quality partisan red hat in a suit while addressing the military.

    This is your strongman, and even if tradition to select the crowd, it outlines the absurdity of Americans behaviour and hypocrisy.

      … I’ve marched with other services as well. It’s not just “Americans” that do this. Now granted, 95% of my experience would be the American side of this.

      You can have your opinion on how it’s stupid. I won’t disagree there. I never understood or cared myself. But to say that this is something special JUST for Trump is a delusion in of itself. This is a common occurrence, Trump be damned.
