That "parade", though.
It was toe-curlingly embarrassing. The Army obviously didn't want to be there. No dress uniforms, none of them were in step. It looked like a lazy stroll to get a Big Mac and a coffee... sorry, covfefe. I don't know who was in charge of it, but apparently they kept playing Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival, a song written by John Fogerty about draft dodgers being helped to avoid the call up to Vietnam by rich parents. That's got to have been deliberate.
