This isn’t music—it’s a firmware update with guitars.
Looks like going to be war scene up ahead?
As an outsider looking in, it looks weird… so uncharacteristic of the great USA, known to be restrained in grand show-offs but powerful in action. Using the men and women of the military in the guise of celebrating their commander-in-chief's birthday are stuff of dictatorial nations, Someone behind this unnecessary extravagance should do a soul-searching of who he is and what the USA is all about.
Bastille day VS Trump's Parade…😂😂😂
It seems to be the case that when a President calls The Fallen at Normandy "suckers and losers", crowds at your birthday military parade will be thin at best.
Grateful ❤
loved some of the music choices they made during the parade xD
Beyonce didn't perform
Lazy parade…
As a non-American, I find the use of metal music during a military parade… quite strange.
It somehow reminds me of a scene from the movie Idiocracy.
The air quality is Bizzare
I didnt know what to expect at first. But it was a powerfully patriotic display of the history of the Army complete with patriotic music and fireworks. Very motivating and tastefully done.
Recognition long overdue.
Впервые вижу что то подобное в Америке. Хотя видел много парадов в России. Могу сказать что людям это действительно нужно. Все чисто по Американски, с музыкой и шоу программой, так сказать, с американским акцентом. Интересно получилось.
If you Americans want to enter the military parade fashion (which we normal people in western countries don't fancy) you better reflect on how SAD and PATHETIC this looked compared to your adversaries. Really bad optics all around.
How can Americans allow this happen in a democracy country? I will think this is in China or Russia..
Donald should pay North Korea to organize the parade. These ppl don’t look very happy
that sponsorship breaks seem like most american and most absurd thing ever.
I thought it is about the 250th Founding Anniversary. It this was another president, they would have paraded all the same. And no one would bat an eye. The orange man just gave them a more prominent place to parade, and not just any parade ground. And the other side call the move tyrannical. There are a lot of militaries and countries not existing anymore the past 250 years. The USA and its military is still standing.
This is military parade? So relaxed and un-synced, it's worse than a Chinese village new year parade. Comparable to Indian military parade though…….
🇺🇸 Thank you President Trump for honoring our Military men and women who have given so much. 🇺🇸
They shouldn’t allow this stupid waving by the drivers. Looks unprofessional.
Based on liberal comments, Democrats seem to hate the US military. They prefer illegal immigrants and rioters.
Headline should read, “Trump’s North Korean style, dictator like, military parade that we don’t want or need in America”.
Remember to thank the French
Nothing wrong showing the country's military history.
Most idiotic parade ever 😂
Rock music in a military parade? Blasphemy 😂
amateurs
US army may be good in many thing but PARADE is not one of those thing 😅😆🤣😂
this is embarassing
The framing of the total shot at 22:08 says it all.
This is clearly the parade of the world's number one country, so why isn't it cool at all?
If America wants to hold parades they need to take lessons from Russia and China…. look on parade that Russia held during middle of the war… I mean music really was NOT one for parades……
This ain't a military parade. Go to Moscow. We have been expecting better.
They can't even walk in a military parade correctly, barely managing to keep the same tempo
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
The harder trump tries to look strong, the weaker he looks.
mabuhay po kau! ❤❤❤❤
We all should be proud of and deeply grateful to our military. However, a better way to honor our military would be to use the $45M (that it cost to hold this birthday military parade) towards helping our military and not cutting veterans’ benefits, as proposed by the current “Big Beautiful Bill.”
