We should be celebrating American heroes like Alexander Vindman instead of wading through the muck of the current administration.

Will the Navy and Marines, too? They were established in 1775.

The best part was the festival on the mall. There were battle reenactments, fitness contests, rock climbing, face painting, live bands, and more. This is how you showcase our military. There were logistical difficulties, but my understanding is that it went well. Do we still have airshows? Marines hold a toy drive every Christmas, showcasing the Marine Corps.

A parade isn't patriotism. The festival was about patriotism. Want to boost recruitment? Have an interactive show of hardware and share the life of server members. Do we still have MREs? Serve some of those. Get people excited! Watching a sea of platoons in BDUs march past is not exciting.

Trump craves power and attention. Trump can't seem to fit into social circles. Now he is trying to be accepted by the dictators (who are laughing at him). Trump's problem is that he tries too hard. He insists on shoving the square peg into the round hole.
