Sen. Paul: I’ve Never Liked the Idea of a Military Parade, I Grew Up in the 70s and 80s, I Remember the Soviet Parades

RUSH EXCERPT:
PAUL: "You know, I’m all for the president appearing and doing enlistment ceremonies at military bases. I’ve been with the president at dover to receive home our dead soldiers, and so those who have been killed in action and to mourn their loss, but I just never liked the idea of the parade because I grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, and the only parades I can remember were Soviet parades for the most part and North Korean parades. The parades from our history were different. Everybody remembers the famous scene of the soldier dipping the girl and kissing the girl in New York at the ticker tape parade and we were rejoicing the end of the war and rejoicing the soldiers coming home. That absolutely should be commemorated and discussed every year, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day, and we never glorified weapons so much. I know he means well. I don’t think he means to be this to be cted in this fashion. Then there is the cost. We are $2 trillion in the hole. I’m not for it."
