Bless your heart. You think logic matters. What have you seen in the real world to make you believe that logic and reason matter one damn bit?

Seriously? I'm now thinking we should bless your heart.

Logic and reason dictate much of my daily life.

Are you claiming logic and reason play no role in your decisions?

June 12th is when it was filed is well before Trump was elected President. Which puts a stain on your stance. Sorry you hate celebrating the Army you turncoat.

lol....Why do you believe what you just posted?????? Let me guess.

It is true that one of the Army's direct reports, the U.S. Army Military District of Washington, filed a permit application in June 2024 — under Biden's administration — for a festival celebrating the Army's 250th birthday. However, this permit application described a much smaller event, nowhere near the size of Trump's "grand parade." In fact, the military parade involved a separate permit application, filed in March 2025, two months after Trump started his second term in office.

Furthermore, both events — the festival approved under Biden and the military parade approved under Trump — separately took place on the Army's 250th birthday, confirmed Mike Litterst, a spokesperson for the National Mall and Memorial Parks under the National Parks Service, whose Division of Permits Management officially approves these applications.

"There were two separate permitted events celebrating the Army's 250th birthday on the National Mall that took place on Saturday, June 14, 2025," Litterst wrote in an email. "The first was a festival on the Mall, for which an application was submitted on June 13, 2024; the second was the military parade, which submitted an application on March 30, 2025."

My wife often tells me she doesn’t want an Anniversary gift either. Do you think I am stupid enough to defer to her stated wishes?

I am sure the troops in the parade itself would have preferred to be at home, dry, and with their family than on display for Trump.

I respectfully disagree. One of my dad’s proudest memories was getting to march in a parade in front of General Patton at the end of the war. People like being honored by a once in a lifetime opportunity.

That's like comparing the Vols baseball championship parade to a parade celebrating the team's 100th year of existence.
Wonder in which parade a player would wish to participate.

So you were wrong. Got it and you hate the Army, bad day for you. The original was filed in April 2024 and you chose to leave that part out in your whining.

The only people who can decide what they want or don’t want would be the rank and file of the U.S. Army. Neither what you nor I think really doesn’t matter.
