President
Trump has indicated his desire for a military parade through the streets of
Washington, probably in November, as a show of respect and appreciation for our
Armed Forces. However, word has leaked out of the Capital, as it usually does,
that his plan has run into a few snags.
Number one,
the Joint Chiefs are concerned that there may not be enough time between now
and November to teach the troops to goose-step, a la Russia and North Korea. Of
course, if Trump orders it, they have no choice but to do the best they can.
Also, there
is some concern that the President may not be able to maintain the straight arm
salute, which was popular in certain quarters during the 1030s, for as long as
it takes the troops to pass by his reviewing stand. Reverting to his devout
Christianity, he is looking for someone to hold his arm up, as Aaron and Hur
did for Moses during the Israelites battle against the Amalekites (Exodus
17:12). A likely place for recruiting would be among the “fine people” in the
White Nationalist Rally in Charlottesville, VA, during August 11-12, 2017.
Isn’t it
ironic how a man who is anxious to spend millions of taxpayer dollars in a show
of respect and appreciation is the same man who sought five deferments to avoid
the draft?
