These soldiers spend their days doing important work to defend our nation.

The U.S. military has done nothing to defend their "nation" for over 100 years. They ONLY defend the corporate oligarchs' ability to steal resources and use slave labor in third world countries.

Decades of Hollywood Military propaganda ruined in one single day.

This is a false dichotomy, as though you can either be productive or learn to march. Obviously you could do both.

If my kids were Army and were participating at an event, i would go watch. It sucks that it could have been a nice, reasonable celebration of the Army's 250 years of service but instead it was hijacked by a dipshit charlatan and turned into something that no one wanted. I feel sad for the families of the participants.

This is just not accurate.

Here's an example proving it incorrect:

That's just a unit. Not a ceremonial one.

I mean the honest truth is the military hates Trump just like the rest of us

probably one of the first things every soldier world wide learns is marching. Malicious compliance it is.

[–] Stubb@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

It's like in Catch-22 when Lieutenant Scheisskopf thinks that it's in vogue to march with your arms barely moving, and no one knows any better.

On a fucking Saturday too. They wanted to be with their loved one probably.

I think it was probably in protest. However they can, I guess.

If they dislike Trump so much, they had like, you know, all their tanks there and stuff, they should have just removed him from office.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

They were mostly like WW2 tanks from what I saw. I'm sure their weapons systems were dismantled or decommissioned
