Yeah, our town's protest yesterday had a pretty big proportion of veterans in attendance. Even if the parade was actually to honor the troops instead of stroking Trump's ego, it would still hardly make up for slashing access to veteran's medical benefits, the numerous times he's desparaged POWs and those who died in service, or him now sending troops to follow illegal orders against US civilians on US soil.
Performative patriotism is such an obvious thing to spot but too many people eat that shit up. You can tell exactly how much they really care for veterans by how they're treated when not being used as a political prop.
