The USA need not prove its dominance with military parades. We as a country do not need to spend the money for such an event that gives us the appearance of a totalitarian or dictatorship regime. Yes our troops should be honored. Which is why Memorial day and Veterans Day are national holidays. To host a massive parade would just be an expense that seems to scream waste, fraud, and abuse. The cost to not only transport the required equipment and personnel would be a waste of funds that could be used elsewhere or cut from the budget completely. They would also be added cost to repair the city after the fact. Which the tax payer would carry since the capital must be in a wonderful lite for the whole world to experience. This is my request to say no to the military parades.
