Well I sat right through Trump's parade waiting for the good part. It never came. First up were historic vehicles similar to any historic military vehicle gathering in this country. Then they moved on to Sherman tanks from WW2. Various Army units marched (shuffled) - in their fatigues. They didn't even get dressed for it.
Some of the crews of the armoured vehicles smiled and waved to the modest crowd. The crowd was not large, perhaps Trump should have paid out some crypto to seat fillers.
Putin will have had a good laugh.
Most appropriate comment I have seen so far? "Whoever organised this parade has never seen a parade."
Judging by their bored expressions we can assume that the wives of the dignitaries will do their best to ensure there is no more of this silliness.

I've seen many, many, better ANZAC Day parades.
$US 65 (or more) million and they couldn't even grease the tracks links on the WW11 tanks.
What a Pathetic National Embarrassment!......and his birthday parade was pretty lame too!
I did wonder if you guys might have just seen the left leaning medias take on the parade with carefully edited shots and pans. So I went over to fox to check out the other sides footage expecting to see something different. But OMG, Foxs footage also showed the same completely boring and uncompelling footage. The soldiers mostly looked like they did not want to be there and were just going through the motions. There were the usual maga desperadoes in the comments raving about it, but there was just no hiding the super low energy. I did not bother watching any of the no kings protest footage for comparison.
Speaking of people wanting to be treated like a king......
This has been a pattern. First go round he referred to "my generals". He also referred to 'my lawyers' and was taken aback when eventually told that the White House Counsel did not work for him but for the institution of the presidency, for the people, not the president. He had been discussing matters with the White House Counsel that he should not have.
Recently he has referred to "my army". That might seem quaint but it's actually dangerous.
As for the marching in his parade. US Army marching is always lame but one unit was particularly bad. The suggestion has been made that it was a form of protest.
The standard of drill reached by Guards regiments is extreme. This clip shows Legionaires in working kit similar to the troops in Trump's parade but the effect is just so much better.

Afterthought: Just saw a comment on social media re Trump's parade - which has been mercilessly mocked in Russia and Korea apparently. A black former soldier commented that there are many black soldiers in the US Army but there was not a single black soldier in Trump's parade. Apparently the parade was strictly whites only. I didn't notice it at the time but now that it's mentioned.
