Tell the Department of Defense: A military parade is a huge mistake
VoteVets Action Fund
A military parade would not be a national celebration -- it would an international disgrace. This is a huge mistake: the military is not there to be used and abused to prop up the president's fragile self-image.
Why is this important?
Last night, news broke that Donald Trump has given orders to the Department of Defense to prepare for a military parade and that it is being "worked at the highest levels of the military."
Here's the truth: our military is made up of the very best men and women this country has to offer. They should not be used and abused in this way simply to prop up Donald Trump's fragile self-image.
Any Commander in Chief who respected the traditions of the military and the people who serve would understand that. But, it is increasingly clear that the United States does not have a Commander in Chief as much as we have a wannabe banana republic strongman.
