Sat Jun 14, 2025, 09:18 PM

Saturday

Clearly many of these soldiers have had it with marching today anyway, after putting in who knows how many hours of extra work to give one lazy orange billionaire the privilege of "honoring" them and their co-workers from behind bulletproof glass panels perched on a festooned reviewing stand, looking like a toddler in potty training half the time. Yeah, fuck that, I ain't marching anymore.
