We reported on some of the earlier events celebrating the U.S. Army's birthday.
There was a big crowd for the event, and people were certainly having a good time interacting with military members, handling the weapons, and climbing into the vehicles.
But this was the left's take: It was that it was horrifying and "un-real," according to the very objective former CNN guy Jim Acosta.

Then came the parade. When I looked at the following link for the parade posted by President Donald Trump, I knew that the Democrats had once again blundered into yet another 80/20 issue. Although, honestly, it's probably a 95/5 issue.
This is what the Democrats are attacking: 250 years of Army service and the history of America, starting with the Revolutionary War. It was a reminder of sacrifice and everything that we are. This is what they were calling being a "king." Indeed, it was the exact opposite; it was the Army that, from its beginning, ended any kings here.
This has the whole parade, and it's all worth watching. They have narration to help explain each period and what the Army did.

They had contingents representing that history, from the Revolutionary War to the present, encompassing all the conflicts and wars. They even had Golden Knights parachuting, to crowds cheering.
🚨 HERE THEY COME!
