As another military brat — these are tools of war, not performance. I have a hunch Trump wasn’t thinking about the excitement of children when he made this decision.
They're also tools of deterrence ... which is why every major country on Earth shows off its military prowess through parades and exercises.

Yes it would. Although, the wars we're involved in aren't a result of failures of deterrence. They're a result of NeoCon hawks looking for a fight.
