Would be awesome if this parade were just an endless single-file, five-hour line of pool floaties on little wheeled carts, and the sailors had to drag them along like Arctic explorers pulling sledges while someone sits inside and pretends to row. Somehow, I don't think that's what we'll get.

Pls, pls, pls - somebody make this happen. Tom Waits should write the music and lead the marching/limping band. Maybe the maligned Vets could get behind this!

Kudos to the army for phoning it in so hard even his ego realized what was happening.

They’re going to play ‘In the Navy’ on loop.

There's no level of "Dear Leader" parody you could perform that he wouldn't see as genuine.

a John Waters navy parade would get real close; dare to visualize.

As ludicrous and offensive as this tinpot-dictator-level crap is, wouldn't you rather have him focus on these things than destroying public health, diplomacy, the economy, and the rule of law?

I can imagine him insisting the USN send an aircraft carrier up the Potomac.

What is the proper navigation lighting configuration for a vessel launching and recovering aircraft while engaged in dredging operations?

They could put Jeff Koons on retainer to produce a pod of pool toy dolphins, maybe even a Great White, eating a car battery.

It's up to you to upstage the Army, boys, by staging a parade that's TWICE as lame. Do your country proud!

I dunno man, nobody does malicious compliance like the US Navy. And of the four branches, they hate Trump the most. This could be spectacular.

If they thought tank treads were hard on the pavement wait until they drag a CG up Pennsylvania Avenue.
