The US army parade was lacklustre compared to British military parades like Trooping the Colour.
The British just seem so good at it...

Undoubtedly if there's ever an international crisis that can only be won by poncing around in stupid hats, your contribution will be critical.
Depending on who you ask they were either silent protesting or marching to the sharp precision Trump wanted is something they don't do.
I believe it was likely the later - it was their way to protest. Kind'a like how they waved when in the tanks or riding horses and whatnot - apparently Trump was pissed at that.
As of my thirty-some years out of date experience, waving whilst on parade is an absolute no-no, unless specifically permitted in advance. But times change.
I rather doubt this was any kind of organized, or even disorganized, protest. The one thing I know for sure is that the military skews conservative, but not by much. Maybe 10% difference from the population. The decision to sign up is rarely motivated by who the Prez is at the moment.
