    A military parade seems a bit out of place when every military engagement the US has undertaken in the past 20 years has been an abject failure. There’s nothing to celebrate

        No, there is a distinction between military failure which is rare and political failure which is the norm. The job of the military is combat, they are exceedingly good at it.

        This is nitpicking, but major-ish victories: killing USS Cole bombers in 2003, defeated Somalian pirates in 2007 Battle of Ras Kamboni, killing OBL in 2011, rescued Yemini hostages in 2014

        The US spends more on military than the next 8 countries combined and still can’t win against farmers with AKs. The nextgen jet program is unsafe to fly. But let’s keep diverting funds from education and healthcare to prop up the war machine.

        Next 17 counties put together, all but 3 of whom are allies. It’s ludicrous. We are ludicrous.

        Some of us remember when the USSR and China were treated with derision for holding such parades.

        I wouldn’t say the fights against ISIS and Al-Qaeda were failures. Quite the contrary.

        Point is terrorism was top concern for voters after 9/11 when we were at color-coded threat levels for attacks or in more recent past watching innocent people being decapitated. Terrorism is no longer among the top voter concerns thanks to successful military engagement.
