What? The NYT actually tells the truth about something?
Well, almost by accident. It's still FILLED with TDS and bullshit. But does seem to accept this simple fact: Trump likes the US Armed Forces and they like him back! Thus he doesn't send them off to slaughter overseas.
"Only dictators do that!" (hold military parades)
If a general actually said this, he needed to be fired on the spot. Every US President did this, before Obama? It's a centuries-old American tradition. And it doesn't cost "millions of dollars" since most of these "costs" are daily anyhow. Pay, food, shelter? There's a baseline of cost per soldier every single day. The small cost of redeployment & etc is easily justified: it's just "another training mission." With the bonus of being an outstanding advertisement for Armed Forces recruiting. How much do they spend on that? Well: these parades are the apex of recruitment draws.
They think saying that Trump is deploying troops to restore order in face of foreigner-caused riots instead of sending them die to Israel invading Iran will make Trump lose support.

Yes they are that out of touch with reality.
