Somehow, this makes me think of the movie Red Dawn. Except here, it's our military on American streets.

Scary shit. What a disgrace.
This makes me sick!
Whole lot of bouncing going on. Sorry, it’s what we always heard.
Wolverines!
Where are their ponchos. No disrespect to the troops that are assigned to do this but they will likely get soaked and that seems totally appropriate for the occasion.
Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe what I'm thinking...
That is some fascist shit right there Shame on those taking part in this. I am assuming they will all wear masks to hide their faces.
Unfortunately they have to follow orders, and marching in a parade isn’t an illegal order, so they have no choice. That’s just the way it works.
They don't look very enthusiastic.
My dad served 23 years in the US Army during the Cold War, retired as a 1st Sergeant and was up for promotion to Sgt Major. He held the US Army flag in uniform at the opening of the Harry S. Truman Presidential library when it opened. This parade is FASCIST BULLSHIT. It’s un-American.
Everyone should watch "Red Dawn" INSTEAD of Donald's self-glorification show. That will fry him.
My Dad was Army and fought Nazis. Now these guys are - wittingly or unwittingly - supporting the Hitler-wannabe in the White House. How times have changed.
It's a frightening, ugly sight. Parades are marching bands and pretty floats.
WOLVERINES!!
This is such a sickening image.
Just war fighting warriors deploying to…America First
Protest peacefully and carry our flag! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #NoKings
Reminds me of Handmaids Tale.
Meanwhile in Russia...oh snap, DC? Feck that guy.
Looks like pawns on a chess board, and they should revolt against Trump for using them this way!
Are they goose stepping yet?
Russian military looks good marching during the May day parade. Oh but the losses on the battle field in it's invasion of weaker Ukraine. This what Trump & Hegseth looking for? A military for parade shows?
A parade for a draft dodger, someone who calls Veterans Sucker & Fools and walks on the graves for a campaign ad!! Shame on the Veterans who voted for someone who told them he was going to be a dictator on day one….and you still voted for Putin’s Bitch!
Any evidence them and the equipment will leave afterwards?
yeah. really.
A valid question.
Makes my stomach churn. So sad so scary
That occurred to me when I saw the video of the train rolling into Wash DC a week ago, loaded with hundreds of tanks, trucks and containers.
Looks like North Korea to me
Disgusting to say the least.
Traitor Trump, the enemy within
Tell me how to respect military that have no respect for their oath?
🥺😢😡🤯this is so sad…
This makes me so sad.
Disgusting
The Enemy Within (1994) also comes to mind.
WOLVERINES! shoutout to @barbmcquade.bsky.social
Red Dawn sounds like a pun.
Obscene.
disgusting
Barf
Agreed
These men and their leaders should be honoring their oath to the Constitution to protect Americans from the domestic threat we are living. This display is disgusting and insulting to all who sacrificed and came before them.
Will they salute him as they pass by his stand?
😔🤬
the best years of our lives, this is not
Red Don
Soooo I thought there was a high percentage minorities within the Marines. Why are these guys 90% white? Or do I have my information wrong? This does not look right to me.
That video needs the Storm Trooper theme from Stars Wars behind it.
Good movie!
Who has the bigger dick, Trump or Kim Jong Un???
Reminds me of Putin.
As they march by he'll be saying, look at all the suckers and losers. 🙄🚫👑
Piss poor marching formation!
Wolverines!
Orange Dawn
Same vibe.
They’re trying to scare folks.
I'm not scared. I'm marching.
That's what I was seeing too
Creepy af
It's so disgraceful that the whole thing is absolutely nuts.
This is unreal
Omg omfg
Let it rain Randy!
Dark. Real dark. Where is this, North Korea or Russia?
Disgusting. How long before they actually start shooting Americans?
I was just thinking 🤔. The world has ever really seen what our military looks like. It was always just perception before now. We should’ve kept it that way.
They rehearse. Wonder if Trump's pretending they are parading for him twice? Wouldn't doubt it.
#FDJT
Caesar has crossed the Rubicon.
Wouldn’t it be grand if they all pointed their weapons at the felon and oops
It only takes one patriotic soldier …
Twisted inside becoase on want to support every single one of them and help celebrate and at the same time who is currently occupying the west wing
Dear God in heaven, pour rain all over that parade!
Trump will never be satisfied. This is just the starry of the adoration phase. Elon should be careful.
I bet they were vetted for appearance and allegiance to Trump as well.
No parade will ever make Trump genuinely happy. He hates himself.
North Korea!!!!! 😳😳😳😳😳
is he feeding them kimchee afterwards?
This is a disgusting waste for a man whom Lied and said he didn’t know it was his job to uphold the constitution. Enough.
Anwar Sadat
I thought the same thing. Red Dawn, without the Russians. Who knows, we could be fighting a clandestine war before this debacle is over 🤔
Look at how dumb these soldiers look.
Man, this is a few blocks away from my place. It’s sucks to live in dystopia!
Yup...that is a hard movie to forget.
I try hard not to be vulgar in public, but honestly, the only appropriate response to this is, "FUCK THAT."
Mental health awareness and support 4silentrebels.com
Everyone knows the real impetus for this $134 million extravaganza. It's Trump's ego.
Beyond embarrassing.. I hope they all freestyle and mis-step to the point of comedy. 🙏🏻
Distinct possibility of rain and thunderstorms in the forecast
And not one member of his family has ever served in any branch of our military.
Disgrace
I despise Donald Trump but tomorrow is flag day and the 250th anniversary of our proud army older than the nation. I will recognize those two things tomorrow.
Fking disgraceful - I’m a retired Army officer. It will take generations to rebuild the “American brand” after this four years. My brothers fought and died to protect our constitution and this “man” is pissing on their graves. Good job MAGA.
🎯😔
Smells like North Korea
……oh f*ck
DC Forecast for Sat & Sun⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️
All they need to do is kick their legs out in unison and our military will be no different than North Korea. Certainly, our Administration is the same
Give all this waste of money to Our Beloved Veterans!! That is how you honor the military!
Go win a war, boys. Then get back to us.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING… using OUR Military for a President to feel powerful on his Birthday. TRUMP IS THE WEAKEST MAN… WORST PRESIDENT EVER!! PEACEFULLY PROTEST 💙🇺🇸💙
Wolverines!
Ain’t watching the Nazi parade
I hope those solders are all the size tRump wishes, apparently he doesn’t like to see fat on others than himself.
Our troops goose step is pretty weak looking🤷🏻♂️
Is anyone else hoping for Bill Murray to show up and lead them like he did in Stripes? That's a fact, Jack!
It has that North Korea feel to it.
It's disgusting and depressing.
In this version of Red Dawn, half of America would be calling the Russians comrades and helping them parachute in—while gunning down their own neighbors for something they call “FrEeDuM.”
How demeaning for the service men and women to put on a dog and pony show for a dictator Trump is desecrating military honour He wants an army of ‘yes men’ and is bending them to his will Do they have to lick his jackboots when they march past?
I wonder whether the troops will give a special stiff armed salute when they pass Trump’s parade viewing stand. This is disgusting.
How embarrassed they must feel.
Disgusting display.
Wolverines!!!
When fiction becomes reality.
They don’t seem to be that into it, do they?
It's the Manchurian Candidate meets Red Dawn.
I like buddy with the shades, he knows this is insane like most of them I bet.
PRAYING for some Fire and Brimstone to fall on this Douche bag🖕
🤞Thunder and lightning storms 🤞 💪Peaceful protesting 💪 Taco is crossing his fingers for violence....don't give him the opportunity Have fun with NO Kings day. Because Monday... We are back to calling senators to 🛑 STOP 🛑 this DEATH budget 💪Peaceful protesting 💪
Wolverines!
I hope no one watches. I also hope it pours rain nonstop. A well-placed lightning strike or two may jazz things up a bit, too.
Yup
I wonder if they will all do the nazi salute when they march past that orange arsehole
The problem with the world is that the biggest geopolitical threats are being directed by leaders in their 70’s who feel that time is running out for them to accomplish their goals in 5-10 years. The boomers are going out with a bang.
I think so too.
Is a firing squad still a thing of the past
It's called a "shit detail" in the military. You can tell by how enthused they look, NOT.
Remember these from Trump's 2016 inauguration and Obama's first inauguration?
The corrupt Republican 6 on the Supreme Court will let Trump take over all of our military, including the National Guard. They are as evil as Trump is.
Obscene. Pathetic. Shameful. All those words and more. What a weak little pi$$ant he is to NEED this for his ego.
Thunderstorm ⛈️ and flood watch Saturday! I’m loving Mother Nature so much more ❤️❤️❤️
This is so wrong. In every way possible.
Being raised in Germany, all I see is a Nazi parade. Sorry.
I was born in the middle of America. I’ve lived in Germany and been to Dachau. Unfortunately, I agree with you. :(
All the military should call in sick tomorrow!
I can't look at this, and also see that Marines have deployed to LA, and still think we have a military. The billionaires have a military. We do not. They're now nothing more than an occupation force.
See, you're getting it. This is exactly what is going on.
It all feels so #Awkward!!!
This is straight up WEIRD. PASS.
Very much so!
The least colorful parade ever. All olive drab.
I can’t look at the American flag in the same way I used to,it’s turning into the next Nazi symbol
Trump thinks they are suckers, losers, disposable. Disgusting waste
This makes my blood run cold.

Very good recommendation!
I feel it in my bones something historically humiliating going to happen and change the tone of democracy forever...... I feel it
Sadly, you don’t need to feel anything. It’s right there out in the open. Everybody sees it. Except “Republicans”, who don’t seem to care about the Republic anymore, only their new golden god Donald Trump. Trump NEVER understood or cared about America. He’s just cosplaying President.
He's full on nuts.
This is without a doubt one of the dopiest things I’ve ever seen.
This is just F’ed up
[tomorrow’s shit parade] OPERATION: BONE SPUR DODGER
I think Pootie is going to show up on Saturday to collect it all from Trump!
My new mantra: FUCK TRUMP!!
Oh hark, pardoned 1600 criminals who attacked the capitol and has 34 fucking felonies of his his own and two impeachments going on three to go… FUCK TRUMP!!
They aren't goose step marching, so we got that going for us.
I’d rather be court martialed than participate in this blasphemous parade.
NK shizz
I’m sorry, that formation is… awful.
Parade organizers are recruiting in person viewers with “promises” of $1000 in cryptocurrency and fast food. Specific requests for ethnically diverse attendees. People won’t be paid or fed…
Hope they aren’t sleeping on the floor…
I don't care how many troops and tanks are in the parade. Trump is still a fascist, draft dodging, sexual predator, who is every bit as anti-American as George III.
Yep, but to reference another movie…the call is coming from inside the house. 🫠
Gives me chills! 😬 Can’t believe it’s happening in a country that can no longer say ‘land of the free’.
I guess it’s alright to be a sucker and loser if it’s done for the glory of Trump.
Yup, there is an add on Craigslist for “seat fillers”. Wear red, white & blue. Get a “red” hat. Ethnic people encouraged to apply for visual perceptions.
I hope band members protest by playing off key.
He's turning the military into a sad joke.
Vomit-inducing.
I feel like the next movie is going to be "Civil War"
The people in charge of military are fucked. I’m so upset about all of them.
Fucking disgrace
Hitlers Nazi SHIT SHOW! By Trump! not even going to happen!
Are they at least going to march to "Hitler has only got one ball?"
I’m so incredibly pissed that we’re wasting our tax money on this stupid ego stroke.
Colossal waste of time and money. Not to mention that it makes us look like a banana republic. Having said that, please don’t let this sham of a parade detract from insisting that Noem stop lying and resign. And a call out to NBC for having zero balls would be ok too
Their marching is pretty ragged. They look like people who don’t want to be there.
My high school marching band had tighter lines than this
Yes! Half of them are ambling rather than marching.
I hope there’s a big storm tomorrow
Reminds me of The Handmaids Tale
They have to rehearse? Don't they train to march? Oh, right, Hegseth...
Oof! That hurts, but you're right.
The beauty of these types of parades is you can be sure those soldiers carry no bullets. You see, dictators are just as afraid of their own people as they are of the population.
Lol. I made a Red Dawn reference earlier today. Wolverines!
Are there any planned protests to disrupt this? Is there a movement to get those soldiers to defy this?
