Red Serge what? I think of a few gay men prancing around on horses when I think of Canadian military.....and I am serious. I can not honestly think of a serious Canadian threat of naval power, air power, or ground strength - sorry.

As they tear down civil war memorials. I guess it's his turn in "throwing away tradition".

It is all about the costs! And this is a waste as we continue to run up the debt we are leaving future Americans burdened with.
If it's all about puffing, or ego, let there be private funds raised to do it-maybe some of the military contractors could kick in a few bucks. They'd just write it off as an advertising expense.

True, as long as the weather stays above zero degrees. The marines came up to petawawa one year for winter ex. They went out Monday morning and were all back in camp Wednesday

Honestly a bunch of tanks and modern military hardware and such in an independence day parade is kind of strange if you ask me. We're celebrating our independence from the British, we're not celebrating the military.

The regular army fought in the independence war, of course, but so did militia and minutemen. I'd much prefer to see a bunch of guys in period correct military costumes with horse-drawn cannons, and period correct regular outfits marching with muskets.

NPR is fixated on climate change, the human anomalies known as the LGBTQIA community, open borders and all other things leftist. The only thing 'Public' in NPR is that we're all paying for that crap.

It's a weird holiday for modern military equipment. Bring in some minutemen with muskets and fly Betsy's flag instead. That said, the real objection seems to be that Trump is doing it.

Kinda but I can see where the modern military should be represented seeing as they ensure we keep our independence.
That said, it would be fun to see Boco dressed up in 18th century British military attire and Walleyed dressed in 18th century U.S. military attire launching muskrats at each other with cannon. grin

Any time a draft dodger orders the military to do things it will bring out critics.

President Donald Trump did not dodge the draft. Even liberal supporter Snopes, after intensive investigation, found no evidence that anything illegal or improper was done to prevent Trump from serving.

What does it mean when they call Trump General Bonespurs?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It means that some ill informed individual or dishonest one is offended or mock offended, that the now president really had bonespurs, which did not even prevent him from being entered in the draft.

From Snopes:

"While attending the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump received a minor medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet. The medical deferment was expected to be short-term and he was therefore entered in the military draft lottery, where he received an extremely high number, 356 out of 365."

His high draft number was never chosen, but it could have been. He was enrolled in the draft as he was supposed to be. He did not dodge the draft. He just was not chosen.

So he had a minor medical condition that kept him from being drafted into the army,cause they put the less desireables at the bottom of the roll,and the more fit would be called up sooner?
