The use/abuse of the military for his own stunts is the lowest of the low, I laughed at his sick face during the parade but felt heartfelt shame and sadness for the folks who were required to go through with this fraud.

It certainly didn't honor our military, instead it put them though quite a lot.

... it's another to use bored, uninspired troops to jingo up support for a failing despot.

No Kings, no storm troopers.
