The US Army celebrated its 250th birthday on Saturday (14 June) through the military parade featuring close to 6,600 troops.
Social media has gone crazy with people saying that the United States Army delivered a giant F U to President Donald Trump after noticing one thing that you simply could not miss in the military parade that was held over the weekend.
On Saturday (14 June) troops of the military participated in the US Army 250th anniversary parade in Washington DC.
His 78-year-old republican self was joined by his wife Melania, other members of his administration, and military leaders in the parade, and it is reported to have cost a whopping range of about 45 million dollars, as stated by Reuters.
Tonight, with unswerving faith in ourselves, and with unswerving faith in you, we declare to the world, and to any person in any place who will hear it, or ever will trust it, that in the years that go, and in all generations to come, when this world will call the American soldier, and all men will obey, the American Soldier is there, and will be there. In his speech, Trump stated.
It was the initial such exercise in the States since 1991 when more than 6,600 soldiers, accompanied by tanks and robot dogs, moved down Constitution Avenue.
But the parade did not go down well with a number of individuals around the world who even wondered whether the soldiers had chosen not to attend the event voluntarily after videos of the same images going viral on social media showed that the soldiers were walking rather sloppily with little coordination in front of a sizeable crowd.
One of the X users posted a video of the parade with the dismissive comment: I have even participated in more military parades than I even care to remember.
As a spectator, more than likely, dozens more of them. And this is without doubt the worst and sloppiest marching that I ever saw at a military parade.
It appears as a middle finger to Trump by the soldiers.
A second jab at: Why should they be so easy? Is that parade standard in a military procession?”
The third yelled: “I think it means: We hate this mother f**king president, but a fourth person wondered: Our troops are highly trained and prepared. There is nothing to understand except that it is a message to Trump.”
One of them wrote: “They were not even wanting to be there.”
Well done to them! commended a sixth, one saying: “The formation was a shambles. The energy? Dead. The message?
No duh: They are not marching behind Trump. They are tolerating him. It was not patriotism. It was uniformed protest.”
I've marched in more military parades than I even care to remember.

Probably watched dozens more as a spectator.
And this is easily the worst and sloppiest marching I've ever witnessed at a formal military parade.
It feels like a big "fuck you" to Trump from the soldiers. pic.twitter.com/TIYlAbghbv
According to a statement released by the White House, ‘more than 250,000 patriots attended to mark the 250 th anniversary of the U.S. Concurrently, The Independent indicates that as per external estimations, there were empty stadium seats and holes in the crowd where many less persons were present unexpectedly.
Trump in his speech thanked the armed forces and said that the US was the hottest country in the world right now.
Trump was five times drafted into the military once each due to bad feet, and four times out of college, and by the time he became 22, he had managed to dodge the military draft four times to finish his college education at the University of Pennsylvania.
During spring of 1968, the year he was scheduled to collect his degree, he was diagnosed with a condition that gave him a fifth draft deferment out of the Vietnam War, which caused over 58000 US deaths.
Bone spurs are described by the NHS as bony lumps that grow on bones so Trump must be somewhat incapable of service.
