The Navy Seal who is credited with the kill shot on Osama Bin Laden, sending that bastard to sleep for eternity with the fishes, has something very obvious to say about Trump's request for a military parade:
A military parade is third world bullshit. We prepare. We deter. We fight. Stop this conversation.— Robert J. O'Neill (@mchooyah) February 8, 2018
But apparently Little Trumpoleon Bonerparte kicked his little feet and clenched his tiny fists so vociferously in demanding his parade, that it looks like it's probably going to happen:
At the urging of President Donald Trump, the Pentagon is moving forward on planning for "a grand military parade later this year showcasing the might of America's armed forces," the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The paper said the cost of the parade "could run in the millions" given the cost to ship tanks and other hardware to Washington.

Rob O'Neill, The Navy Seal who risked his life to kill Bin Laden just said - and The Gadfly quotes:
"A military parade is third world bullshit."
So what does that make the U.S. President who just asked for one then? The Gadfly will tell you the answer to that one -- it makes that president a third world leader of a third world nation -- you know -- like one of them banana republics? Hmmm . . . well, let's see here . . basically this is the generally accepted definition of what a "banana republic" is:
ba·nan·a re·pub·licnoun
derogatorynoun: banana republic; plural noun: banana republics
Hmm . . . A nation "dependent on one crop or the influx of foreign capital." Ok.
Well -- we certainly do have the influx of foreign capital -- Russian rubles aplenty - (if you get The Gadfly's drift?) And as far as the part about being "dependent on one crop" -- The Gadfly feels that would apply quite aptly to the right wingers and Trump supporters in this country -- it's pretty fucking clear that they have all pretty heavily invested what remains of their souls in that one deplorable, cornucopia crop of willful ignorance, hate, fanatical nationalism, and of course - racism.
So - what are we to do as a nation about this situation? This dilemma actually?
How do we handle the horrifying prospect that a solid quarter to a third of the country is beginning to project intimations that it might very well like to stage a real-life reenactment of 1930's Germany?
It is quite the conundrum is it not? Is that the way American democracy dies? As a mushy, stinky, overripe, Russian speaking banana?
Fucking sigh . . . . . .
It's getting to the point, with all of this fucking insane shit, that hardly a day passes anymore that The Gadfly isn't wishing that there was a comet screaming toward earth to bring us all sweet relief from the madness . . . . . .
via GIPHY
But until that celestial event occurs, The Gadfly will contentedly settle for some Robert Mueller indictments that will not only shock the world, but will also shut a whole lot of stupid goddamn pieholes.
