The U.S. military parade held on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., has sparked widespread criticism for its poor execution and political undertones. Organized to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday, the event was meant to be a grand patriotic celebration. However, many veterans, spectators, and critics called it the sloppiest and least disciplined military parade they had ever seen. Reports described soldiers marching out of sync, lack of formal saluting, and an overall unprofessional appearance.

Adding to the controversy was the choice of music. The parade featured classic rock songs, including Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” a well-known anti-war anthem criticizing the privileged who escape military service. Many saw this as a deeply ironic and inappropriate choice for an event meant to honor military service—especially considering it was used to salute a president who himself avoided the draft. The move was widely mocked online and condemned by veterans and military commentators.

The event was also politically charged, with some viewing it as a personal tribute to Trump rather than a nonpartisan celebration of the military. Critics pointed out the cost of the parade—estimated between $25 to $45 million—as wasteful, especially in light of ongoing budget concerns facing the Department of Veterans Affairs. A majority of Americans, according to polls, felt the parade was an unnecessary use of taxpayer money.
