I don't totally get the idea of a military parade in Washington, but it doesn't really offend me. I can see where people see it as a sort of chest-beating exercise, but there are also people that like the idea of such things. The general reporting on the subject seems to skew towards a negative assessment of the parade, but apparently the funding for such a parade is being green lit, so we'll see how it goes.
There hasn't been a lot of specific Trump statements made recently that are getting much notice, so it's a good time to review some of the items on the general list, and the Parade is one of them. It is interesting that the idea has gotten to this stage, so if there is real resistance to it, that resistance doesn't seem to be very strong. At this point, it seems like we will be seeing some sort of parade in Washington (although it seems unlikely that we will get to see tanks rolling down the streets).
