IMHO, I think it would be a wonderful thing, to show off our military might. Give the men and women a chance to show the public what they do, what skills they offer to defend our country and our allies. Personally, I would make a special trip to see our military and interact with our fighting men and women. Give the American people a chance to interact and converse with our men and women. I would love the chance to pay my respects. It would bring pride back to this country, to see our military up close and personal. It would give the soldiers a chance to educate people on the things they do, like a tank driver showing the public what he does. Where would the public ever get a chance to see that. Maybe there could be some demonstrations that could wow the public. Treat it like an air show, but include the entire military. We have car shows, boat shows, heavy equipment shows, SEMA and PRI, why not a military show. Wouldn't that get people fired up about our men and women? A bonus for the military, it could be a good recruitment tool. Let future soldiers see and talk to the men and women they would be serving with. They have ceremonies for Olympics, this could be the ultimate American ceremony. Bring back American Pride and let the military lead the way.
I would love to hear from active members and veterans. Am I off base for feeling this way?
