The Speech was awesome and maybe he had the vehicles on heavy equipment haulers due to the fact that the Mayor of Washington D.C was so set against it. Yes, this may have been an embarrassing in some respects. We can just improve on it for next year. Revolutionary War airports? I guess we can make a sequel called airport 1777. Honestly, we can just learn from this and do better next year.

CPT Bob Coleman I don't know you from Adam but I knew ring knockers that were nicer to me then you are to me now. One ring knocker was my company commander in civil Affairs and you would never know it because he didn't have your "noblesse-oblige" attitude. The second ring knocker I met who didn't have your stereotypical demeanor was Brigade commander of a regional support group who gave me an Army Commendation Medal last year while I was still a Major (As an OC/T Supervisor in Canada during Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE) for helping his staff even though I wasn't part of his staff. I just happen to work next to him and his staff and I helped them out when people needed help from his primary staff. That ring knocker just became a Brigadier General 2 weeks ago. I made it to Lieutenant Colonel by having an ego that wasn't any bigger than my shoe size. I thought that I had given a decent constructive criticism and I was just making it and Airport 1977 joke. I guess you must not have a sense of humor. You think I have a 7 year old attitude but if you are a narcissist, you think you're better than everybody else.

I really don't give a rats ass what some TV host in Russia thinks. It's a Holiday parade, a celebration. We're not trying to show off our latest and greatest weapons and technology.

Then perhaps this quoted statement shouldn’t have been released by the WH:
“People are coming from far and wide to join us today and tonight for what is turning out to be one of the biggest celebrations in the history of our Country, SALUTE TO AMERICA, an all day event at the Lincoln Memorial, culminating with large scale flyover and advanced aircraft anywhere in the World. Perhaps even Air Force One will do a low & loud sprint over the crowd. That will start at 6:00P.M., but be there early. Then, at 9:00 P.M., a great (to put it mildly) fireworks display. I will speak on behalf of our great Country!“

So yeah someone not Russian did state not imply it was to be the greatest show on earth showcasing our military technology.

But I get it. You don’t care about Russian TV propaganda but it is a network that broadcasts globally. Yesterday it was reporting details of Putin-Trump meeting, today it’s criticism of US might, tomorrow it’ll be details of what GOP Congressmen meeting Russian officials over the 4th of July. So yeah some of us are interested in what is said about the US from an international perspective.

MAJ James Woods - Yeah, it's all just propaganda, on both sides.

MAJ James Woods President Trump pretty well set Himself Up for Failure and Russia is Sure as Hell Not Going to Turn Down a Propaganda Coup Like that. Rain, Low Turn Out. Then their was the Embarrassing bit with the Parks Dept turning off the Live Feeds so People wouldn't see the Low Turn Out. Hopefully this will be a Learning Experience for Others.

I know. Thanks.
I’m just amazed at how many got triggered and ignored the simply purpose of my post. To inform and remind them that Russia is not our friend. So enough with the 1) Putin was a better, stronger leader than Obama comments, 2) Trump is doing good with US-Russia relations, 3) there’s nothing wrong with GOP’s sudden pro-Russia platform, 4) they want to put revelations of Russian interference behind us and move forward, etc.
I will gladly point out their hypocrisy that we continue to allow ourselves to be manipulated by Putin and Russian government on the global community and media information realm. They fail to acknowledge how wide spread Russia TV expands globally much like our CNN.
