NYPost OpEd says Military Parade a "frivolity"

NY Posts' OpEd on a military parade ticked me off a little

"parades with miles of tanks, artillery pieces and missiles, along with massive formations of robotically drilled soldiers, produce impressive images. But the strength’s an illusion."

"If your priority is big parades, you’re not prepared for big wars."

"The purpose of our military is to fight. Not to engage in social experiments,.."

"How much pomp and circumstance do we need?"

"As for honoring the troops, ... soldiers don’t take any special joy in standing in the sun for hours while the VIPs suck mimosas in the shade."

Thoughts?


accompanying op-ed titled "Stage a grand military parade? Absolutely – it’s overdue"

"The parade controversy is another sign that the place of patriotism in our national life, and what that patriotism should consist of, is a Trump-era flashpoint."

"This is why a military parade once in a while is a healthy thing: We should be proud, not just of our troops, but of our military as such. We should be proud of our strength. We should be proud of our weaponry, highly proficient machines fashioned by the most technically adept society the world has ever known."
