If, as you allege, it was only "the left" that was objecting to this, then I would say in this case, the left is right.   But people from all over the map are saying this is pure foolishness, including this guy:

The U.S. Navy SEAL who killed Usama bin Laden is not a fan of President Trump's call for a military parade in Washington, and he made his opinion clear on the commander-in-chief's favorite social media forum.

Robert O'Neill, who is also a Fox News contibutor, tweeted Thursday that the idea floated by Trump, whose campaign he supported, is not something the world's lone superpower should soncider.

"A military parade is third world bulls---," O'Neill tweeted. "We prepare. We deter. We fight. Stop this conversation."

Dragging thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines through an exhausting day parading for the Commander in Chief.  What an honor!   Don't you think they'd just rather have the day off with their families?

So, we were a 3rd world country in 1991 under GWB?
