To: Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser

The Washington Post just announced that Trump plans a massive demonstration of military power in Washington, D.C. This parade will not do anything to keep our country safe, and it will not honor the men and women in uniform. Its entire purpose is to let Donald Trump play dictator for a day, further eroding democracy, and pushing our country even closer to authoritarianism.

This announcement must not be treated as normal. I urge you to use your position as mayor of our nation's capital to prevent President Trump from holding his dangerous war parade in your city.

Trump may have obvious personal flaws, but this is the best thing in years if not decades for American national security. The parade is not for its practical imperatives but is important that it sends a message to our enemies: That America is not to be messed with.

The Armed Forces of the United States demonstrate their power through their victories, and not in 'dog-and-pony' shows in Washington DC. The enemies of the United States do not face our troops in Washington, DC.

The day chosen, the 100th anniversary of the end of the second-worst war in inhuman history, a war whose causes few historians can figure out today, is grossly insensitive. Yes we can honor our veterans, and I encourage people to honor the dead of World War I and other wars. But just as important -- let us not blunder our way into wars whose causes we do not understand and whose consequences are weakened institutions and peoples full of anger.


Quote:Trump may have personal flaws?

That's about as much an understatement as saying that a lava flow is an unpleasant thing to encounter.
