Quote:
President George H. W. Bush held a military parade in Washington on June 8, 1991, to mark victory in the Persian Gulf War. The cost of that parade was $12 million, according to a C-SPAN report at the time, which amounts to about $21 million once adjusted for inflation. At the time it was called the biggest victory celebration in Washington since the end of World War II, with a crowd of around 200,000.

As a veteran, I enjoy a parade as much as the next guy. But if simply a gimmick on back of the current administration's mantra of MAGA, I think we already have enough propaganda in our lives.
