The Trump administration is a huge money pit.

I'm sorry that you believe giving our military the recognition they deserve is "a huge money pit".

They've already all got the recogniton they need. An obscenely expensive parade won't give them any more. The Army parade was a fiasco.

We don't honor the military based on what you find acceptable or how you think they should. The Army didn't think it was a fiasco and their opinion is the only one of value in that conversation. So GFC.

With Trump? As long as he's surrounded by military service members who never, ever, would have used bone spurs as a deferment to avoid military service?
Trump can pretend he's not a coward.

That's the only reason he wanted it, for his personal self-gratification and the chance to say "All this is for meeeee!"

Trump revolves around Trump, period.
Narcissists are exactly alike, whatever Trump does, is designed, and manipulated, for personal benefit.
