In an interview Wednesday with the Washington Post, President-elect Donald Trump was asked just exactly how he plans to make good on his promise to make America great again. One potential he floated to the Posts Karen Tumulty: military parades in DC and New York showing off the armed forces human and materiel strength.
The Post reports:
Being a great president has to do with a lot of things, but one of them is being a great cheerleader for the country, Trump said. And were going to show the people as we build up our military, were going to display our military.
That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.C., for parades. I mean, were going to be showing our military, he added.

But parading the military is messed up. And even when we celebrate military victories we celebrate the personnel , not the weapons.
