Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…
May 6, 2025 14:20Absolutely agree. He takes $$ away from vet care and wants to squander it on himself--a draft dodger. Could it get any uglier?
Daughter of an AF vet. Sister of a Navy vet. Cousin of an Army vet. Widow of a USMC vet.
I agree.
I grew up in the military, literally my whole family is military. I married a Vietnam vet.
The second he came out with this completely insulting idea to everyone in the military, my blood began to boil.
You just don't give traitors military parades on their birthdays. You just don't.
This grandson of a vet, son of a vet, nephew of a vet, cousin of a vet and veteran himself agrees.
I am from a multiple generation family that served. Married into one that served. I served as a reservist. I cannot agree more. But, we do need parades....for our teachers who go to battle every day for our kids and do so with diminishing resources and little, to no, fanfare or thanks.
I agree.
…however…it just happens to be on the same day as the Army birthday
Trump's dictator birthday parade next month is expected to include more than 6,600 troops, 150+ vehicles, 50 helicopters, 7 bands, and possibly a couple thousand civilians.
All costing tens of millions of dollars.
Agree, Jess!!!! You, your family, and mine have always honored our oath to protect and defend our Constitution, the American people, and our democracy. May it always be so!!
there is no stopping it. our military won't even object to this, I am afraid. tanks wreak havoc on streets, which GOP congressmen have stock in Caterpillar?
I still say we need to find a way to screw up his day to make it pissy.Mom, because he doesn't deserve anything but horrible things happen to him!
unless they're there to remove him and his regime, then absolutely no military parade
Unfortunately, a lot of MAGAts in uniform are already jizzing their pants at the prospect of parading for the Drag Queenie.
I hope that all leaders of the free world will openly refuse to follow any invitation to this travesty.
Great grandfather WW I vet, Grandfather and great Uncles WW II vets, Father, Korean War vet, cousins Viet Nam vets… I agree no money spent on the whim for a draft dodger who bought his way out.
When this parade happens, let's look carefully. Will it be "diverse" or will all the personnel chosen be white males? Just a thought.
It will trash the street wherever it occurs and the the government won’t fix them. Wait they’ll make homeless into slave laborers!
We can not borrow money for a parade.
He has $100 million left over from his inauguration fund
Your precious military is just fine with what’s happening

Supreme Court allows Trump ban on transgender members of the military to take effect, for now
The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce a ban on transgender people in the military, while legal challenges proceed.
Amen sister.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
This Navy Vet agrees.
Thank them for their service! Our father, and two uncles served. ♥️🕊️🦋✨
I totally 💯 agree with you; it’s not as though he served in any branch of the military!

Granddaughter of a WWII US Navy vet. He was drafted and did his duty for his country, grateful he was assigned to the Navy because at age 23, he didn't expect to survive and wanted a burial at sea. Luckily he came home alive.
He'd be appalled by draft-dodger Trump and his grotesque military parade.
My departed army daughter and my navy dad would agree.
This is a disgusting display of a greedy little despot wannabe.
FUCK HIM AND HIS ENABLERS.
Navy Vet. Son of a Navy Vet. Grandson and Nephew of Army Vets. And descending from those who fought in every war this country fought in except Iraq I.
Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade. ESPECIALLY for a draft dodger!
Granddaughter of a WW1 army vet, daughter of a WW2 Army vet (10th Mtn Div), and I'm a Vietnam Era Navy vet...not a penny should be spent on a parade for this draft dodging asshat unless he's dead!
I got a safe draft lottery number, and I don't fault anybody else for avoiding the evil stupid Vietnam War. My dad got drafted stateside during the Korean War, my FIL sent to CO camp.
But Trump shouldn't now be holding a military parade celebrating his ability to send other people's kids to war.
Every single veteran I know would rather have a functional, well staffed VA than a parade.
I have not heard a single vet speak out in favor of this.
Absolutely and totally agree. 20 year military Veteran here.
Agreed
I agree wholeheartedly!!!
#ProudNavyMom ✌🏼💙
You RESIST! No tanks on US streets!
Maybe this is our standoff. Maybe this is our Tiananmen Square moment.
Imagine hundreds of thousands of us just standing right in his way.
Maybe we will not be moved. Maybe we will take this parade as an opportunity to stand our ground. In solidarity.

Trump has never supported the military. He doesn’t understand the word service. He is destroying the VA and the DOD. He just wants an ego boost. No parade for the wannabe King
Also, please come to the
www.unite4veterans.org protest rally in Washington on June 6.

Rally With America’s Veterans | Unite for Veterans Coalition
Join veterans and allies in Washington, D.C. on June 6 to defend the VA, protect our benefits, and carry forward the legacy of the Bonus Army.
My grandfather and my dad fought.
I didn't have the privilege because their damages became my mental illness.
Fuck trump.
dear loser deserves nothing but things I won’t mention here
WHAT are they thinking?
I am with you 100%. This dude thinks he’s North Korean dictator. Maybe he should move there
How about a million veteran march?
That'll send the message to that entitled jackass.
This wife of retired Army Vet, mother of active duty Army LTC and Army Vet myself, completely agrees with you! HOOAH!
With all the DOGE BS out there you'd think something so obviously wasteful would be off limits. But that would require a sense of self awareness and shame that trumptards do not possess.
A decent leader would not be wasting money on anything as long as people are starving & homeless.
Not one dime on this grifter :(
Son, Nephew and older Brother of Army Vet's.
Father of a Navy Vet.
I am a Navy Vet.
We should NEVER have a military parade such as is being suggested.
ESPECIALLY not for a draft dodger, a con man, a rapist and convicted felon.
My family doesn't need help. But take care of the Veterans who do.
On June 14 at noon at your local city hall is a nationwide NO KINGS protest. It's the same day as Trump's birthday and his military parade. No work, or buying or selling that day too.
Boycott!! Not one person should agree to participate!! He already owes so many cities money for using them for rallies & promo shots & not paying police & city workers who organized them. Why would NEW YORK or NEW JERSEY allow it? City officials should just say NO!!
Not one dime for his nonsense when he could use funds to help Americans.
family member to all RIP USMC Vets, Husband, Brother, Two Brothers in Law and Grandson.
Not one damn nickel should be spent in a military parade for a hateful totalitarian psychotic draft dodger
Amen
Granddaughter of an army vet. Daughter of a navy vet. I agree.
For any president, period.
… or any president for that matter.
Let’s boycott it! One million Americans could stop it if they show up.
Concur.
With you all the way. No parade. No. No. No.
Agree 🇺🇲🙏
Yeah but they’re going to have a bone spurs division
Especially if there are going to be cuts to the VA!
Where is the outrage from maga vets...or do they just not exist? Does maga only cosplay soldiers??
Daughter of an army vet, mother and MIL of Marines. I totally agree with you.
Absolutely exactly this 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Let Them Eat Tariffs
While American families tighten their belts under the weight of spiraling consumer prices, trade disruptions, and economic uncertainty, the…
Does the MF think we forgot about the " losers and suckers" comment?
or an admitted traitor to his oath of office and the Constitution, eh?
he called the burial sites at Arlington for 'Suckers and Losers',
and they're going to parade for him.
Someone bake him a chocolate cream pie, instead.
Trump is a poster child for the class divide that plagued the draft and he's a pathological misanthrope for the ages.
That said, it sucks seeing honorable Nam dissent once again castigated to "draft dodger". It was a stupid, dishonorable war and "dodging" it was justified and largely honorable.
Daughter of a Navy vet.
Wife of a Navy vet.
Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…
Put it up on billboards. No military parade for the draft dodger.
Unfortunately, most active-duty & vets voted for Trump. Most of your own relatives, friends & neighbors in MO voted for Trump. Wasn't black people who caused this.
Touché
NOT ONE!
My family had people in WWI, WWII, Korea, and other eras, and I couldn't agree more.
NO WAY HE IS OUT OF HIS MIND. What about our veterans? They are taking away their benefits and trying to take away our Social Security which by the way is moneys that was taken from our payroll checks our whole careers etc.
Rtump thinks he has an open endless account and can spend whatever he wants.
I hold this every protest I attend.
Yes, that's my Dad, WWII and Korean War vet.
Agreed, unless all the tanks are paper mache 🧌
Agree
Son of an Air Force pilot and officer. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger!
Amen!
Daughter of a WWII Vet, Wife of a Vietnam Vet. Not one dime spent on a Draft Dodger!
20 year military veteran here. I could not agree more.
Married to a proud Viet Nam Airman, raised a dedicated Navy Sailor & I was raised by a US Marine - was born in Cherry Point, NC
To subject our military to this obscene exhibition is disrespectful & humiliating
You know, I have nothing against draft dodgers who were ideologically opposed to the war. Good for them for sticking up for their beliefs. But Trump is a chickenhawk. He just gelt too privileged to serve with the common folk. He doesn’t get a parade.
Unless someone goes rogue and you know
It would be a shame if anything happened
What could go wrong with soldiers carrying weapons?
Not only that, but he's cutting budgets in almost every other Federal department, particularly those that serve the Vets, elderly, the ironically ill and the kids, but he's upping the military budget to a Trillion dollars. He's hoping for a war to use military powers.
All the men in my family, father, uncles, cousins, except for my ass of a brother, are Air Force, Navy, Marines. Served in Korean War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan. Coward draft dodgers don't get to have a full blast military parade. Its an insult to every veteran who served, especially under fire.
So we do arm links and standing in front of the tanks?
Jess, please enjoy the parade celebrating the US Army's 250th anniversary. President Donald Trump just happened to be born on June 14.
Son of a son of a son of a sailor.
4th Gen Navy.
Totally agree.
You get a parade when you graduate basic, or when you make your commission, etc.
The Civilian Commander in Chief does NOT get a parade for his ego. It's fucking insulting.
Not a vet, not family of vets. Just a citizen who doesn't think the very serious people who volunteer to serve our country should be used for stroking the ego of a weak man who doesn't know what service is unless he's on the receiving end.
❤️
The irony of life. The Star Spangled Banner Bone spur parade for a draft dodger, being paid by suckers and losers .
#TrumpShitI’m from Maine. We have a great governor but I wish we had more of our representatives doing what you’re doing. We got Golden and Collins and we don’t hear much from our elected officials at the state level. Mills is one tough lady. Knows her stuff.
