Between the weather and the circumstances, it maybe wasn’t the big celebration some were hoping for. It didn’t help to have a President who wanted to make it all about himself, who wanted to emulate North Korea with his very own birthday celebration, complete with hardware and thousands of troops marching by in review.
I’m not a fan of glorifying war, but the Army has been around for 250 years, and remembering the sacrifices of those who have served over the years seems appropriate. All the other hoopla in honor of a weak President’s birthday is beside the point, unnecessary, ridiculous, wasteful, embarrassing, and shameful, the opposite of Must See TV, whatever that is.
