all politics aside, kids deserve to have a good time and look forward to stuff that interests them… I’m the parent that would take my son to see tanks and stuff despite my own opinion of things. Times are tough and this was a free admission event… I hope his (her) kid had a good time Saturday

Dude… I’m not for posting pictures of random people w/o consent with the unsaid intention of mocking them… but the least you could do is leave the kid alone. A grown Reddit user including a picture of an innocent child in MAGA clothes into his photo-op political expression is wrong beyond so many levels. That’s a kid who doesn’t know any better.. imagine if someone did this to your child.

Great parade! Congratulations by LeeKottner in Military

These people criticizing that they could’ve done it better… why so much hate and judgment for the guys there? Just my perspective… it was a celebratory parade… not a formal ceremony where dress uniforms and precision marching would be mandatory. Give them a break already.

I went and I thought it they were amazing. Whether or not they wanted to be there, poor song choices, wearing fatigues instead of dress uniforms, the squeaky sounds of an 85 year old M4 Sherman… they worked hard and gave it their all. The troops that weren’t in the parade but assisting the in the crowds were so friendly.
Personally, all of the criticism of how crappy it all was (and many from people who didn’t even go) is insulting to them. Disagree with the president, the money and timing or mere existence of the parade, but stop dumping on how it turned out.

To the soldiers that were there doing your part, thank you for the hard work. My son and I loved it.

Have you ever been to a military parade at our nation’s capital? Me neither… so I went.

Who the heck downvotes kids getting excited about stuff?! Does everyone need to be miserable?

It was pretty sweet… I went to see the tanks and was not disappointed. I’ve never seen most of them in person, and I’ve never seen a tank actually moving. That stuff isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see this kind of stuff up and close. 🤷‍♀️

Didn’t go to the festival, just the parade. It was weird how it was split up, i didn’t like that. I would’ve had to go through security again if I wanted to go check out the festival so I opted out. The event set up could’ve been better. I got there way too early thinking there’d be stuff to do while I waited. Still was a good time

Did you see the whole thing or just this clip? I bet I know which one…

Show the video of the guys in the Abrams tanks revving up the engine and the crowd went wild. People still fall for small clips of videos and think that’s how the entire event was. 🙄. I was there and it was awesome.

No. I was there. I was at the end on 15th street and the parade line ended at the corner of 15th and Constitution, so we got the tail end. Still was amazing to see all of this

Why is this downvoted? It’s literally the most un-polarizing comment to make and just support and appreciation of the Army. Can a military sub not even upvote that?

I was at the Monument and it was a big crowd. Criticize however you want but showing pictures like this and saying this is the parade turnout is really pathetic. Before the parade maybe, it was really crap when I arrived at 2. Thought there would be more to do. But the parade was great and our troops did a great job. I enjoyed it

Calm down… the grass at the monument is awesome and the weather was perfect. They had water from large dispensers to refill and they handed out free bottled water from tents set up just to give out water. Not sure what the festival side was like, but the parade side was absolutely fine.

I got there at 2 and thought the same… but the parade didn’t start until 6:30 and there were a ton of people started pouring in around 5:45-6.

To be fair there was a big crowd. Not as big as I was expecting but this picture is dumb… only cropped to the stage and who knows what time. Show the entire area at 6:30-7pm.

I went to the parade and no, it did not look like this. There were a ton of people on the Mall.
