A lot of those people don’t understand basic knowledge nor economics. I mean look on Google or any other search engine who has the strongest military in the world, every single one will say the US.
@White Fox Um.... personal experience. Nobody joins the military to "serve their country" or for any purpose other than money and they had nothing else to do. Nobody knows why they're fighting, and the one's that do hate it even more.

Except for a brief period right after the Civil War, the US never really took up the practice of traditional military parades. Some of the reasons for this is because the Founders viewed a large standing army as something to be avoided if the threat of some future tyrannical govt were to take power, using the military in the way that European and other countries had done for as long as civilization had existed. The army was always deliberately under funded, it's formations scattered up and downt eh east coast, and later across the continent on outpost duty. After conflicts, no other nation de-militarized faster or more deeply that the US. For all the power brought to bear against Germany and Japan in WW2, few people realize that in 1939, just two years before Pearl Harbor, the American Army had only about 175,000 men and no tanks or armor and very little artillery. Compare that to 4 million Germans and about the same French. American forces in WW2 grew to 11 million, but by 1949 was down again to under 1 million. it would have been far less, but the US was faced with being the only coutry left un dmaged by the war, and was facing Communist forces both in eastern Europe and China. The Russians knew we were weakened and that's why they pushed North Korea to invade South Korea - and they almost won. The US was essentially isolationist to the core, and only funded an army capable of frontier garrison duty. The only places where military spit and polish was observed and parades took place was at West Point, The Citadel, and Annapolis. Washington DC had a garrison force that was primarily for inspection and parade in front of foreign dignitaries. Thus, America never developed the tradition of huge displays of government power. The only time America did that was when Theodore Roosevelt sent the US Fleet around the world on a meet and greet tour, to show off the new Great White Fleet to both enemies and friends.
@@tricksor6589 Yes, but few and far between. We do nothing public on an annual basis. Such displayes are confined to military bases where family and some public guests are allowed. Other events may be municipal parades for holidays, etc, but nothing huge and flamboyant. Another somewhat unique aspect of the US military is US uniform. Patterns are deliberately low key, with very little in blaze or decoration - unlike so many other nations. When the uniform of the day is specified, ALL personnel from top generals to privates wear the same uniform - which are often simple utilities. Exceptions would be for Pentagon postings or dioplomatic events where a business or formal appearance is expected.
So what happened to US armed forces after 1949? It seem to have ballooned since then into the largest and most funded army ever in the world. Always thought that is why US was not into parades 'cos it did not need parades to pomp things up any further. It already has the largest, most powerful army.
@@bummers As I said above: After WW2, the US was the Last Man Standing, and was essentially the only viable industrial economy on earth. However, evil was not extinguished. The Soviet Union was deeply damaged, but they were determined to fill any and all voids of power anywhere in the world - even though their eoconmy could not produce enough food for themselves on a yearly predictable basis. Russians went hungry while the Communists fed Cubans and Chinese Communists. Thus, the US had to be the oft used term - Policeman of The World. This role was forced upon the US even though at the same time, American leaders saw great opportunity in filling the vacuum. America was the first country to defend South Korea in 1950, and took over the role of the French in Vietnam, unfortuneatly. The French warned Eisenhower not to go in, but Kennedy won the election of 1960 instead of Nixon, and the rest is tragic history. Many doubt that Nixon would have committed troops, preferring diplomacy, which was his expertise. So, America did not treally have the opportunity to stand down its military after WW2 because of the massive pressure from Communism in the form of the Cold War. It is only because of America's diverse and free economy that enough taxes are produced to fund a military on the scale and complexity of the United States. Although the US was among the richest nations prior to WW2, that wealth exploded upward exponentially after the war due to America being the only producer en masse. And so, the money required to build and mainatin such forces increased as well. This is very basic explanation, with lots of points and counter points, but I hope it helps .
yea right you did so good in middle east destroying third world nations. No wonder yall are to scared to actually go in Ukraine so you just send some random military gear.
I would't see them as a way of boasting about the military but more about showing some gratitude to them by parading troops on a specific day and having tons of people cheering for them.
I’ll translate this for you folks, we have the mos powerful army in the world we control Asia Europe and Africa, we don’t have to parade our power is all over the world !! And I love what he said at the end “ it’s not our style” !!
thats why they study the art of war in military school and gureilla warfar from mao and vietnam....to underestimate the most powerful civilization in history in terms of culture and continuity....lmao it'll be the end of you yanks.
So they’re too cocky to have a parade. Other countries show off to prove to their population and other counties that they’re strong. That’s their reason we should do it bc we are a country who loves our military and it would be FUN and COOL AS HELL. I hope we have one in my lifetime would be so awesom
Wild to think about how fast the technology for our military grew, especially after ww2. Imagine bringing all the soldiers and gear home from around the world to defend our country from every other military in the world just to have generations of men to fall just to come to the agreement that I really shouldn't of fucked around to begin with just to go home with a free souvenir that says , " I WENT TO WAR WITH AMERICA AND ALL I BROUGHT BACK WAS THIS T-SHIRT THAT SAYS IM WITH STUPID..... ⏲️🎆🎆🚮🎉 🇺🇲👑
It would be awesome if the United States had annual military parades. Parades are not to prove any actual prowess but just to give the citizens a sense of awe and wonder what our country can do.🫡
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
That's why. They got that BDE on lockdown.
Its walk softly and carry a big stick was a phrase made popular by President Theodore Roosevelt in a 1903 speech.
“Sir, we’ve got satellites that can read your shoe size off the bottom of your boot….”
My Man really said "Fuck around and Find out"
"...And real ass gangstas don't flex nuts cuz real ass gangstas know they got em"
We got a lot of people in the United states that don't think we have one of the strongest military's
Mostly because they don't show their stuff in parades, unlike China
A lot of those people don’t understand basic knowledge nor economics. I mean look on Google or any other search engine who has the strongest military in the world, every single one will say the US.
The us military is very powerful but with bad leadership nothing matters
Because we don't. By size and material sure, but our troops are severely demoralized

america does tend to do some parades after large wars, e.g. WW1, WW2 and then right after the Gulf War with the Washington Parade

Still the USA don't sounds or looks strong even North Korea has a decent military parade
The US does not conduct military parade to show off powers, they simply conduct war to prove it lmao
We don't show and tell. We just do.
