Calling the people of #USA
#Danish veterans are #marching in #protest against #Trump’s #disparaging remarks about their service. At the embassy, a five-minute silence will be held.
One minute in honor of the Army, one minute for the Navy, one minute for the Air Force, one minute for the emergency services, and one minute for the police.

A quotation from George Orwell
Why is the goose-step not used in England? There are, heaven knows, plenty of army officers who would be only too glad to introduce some such thing. It is not used because the people in the street would laugh. Beyond a certain point, military display is only possible in countries where the common people dare not laugh at the army.George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-02-19), “The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius,” Part 1 “England Your England,” sec. 2, The Searchlight Books [ed. Fyvel and Orwell]
