Democrats have joined with some GOP lawmakers to speak out against the parade, with many saying it could come off as "totalitarian" and would evoke demonstrations in North Korea and Russia.
Some have said a parade would be a waste of money, and that more should be invested into services like mental health care for veterans instead.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he would be in favor of a parade that honors military personnel, but that a "Soviet-style" demonstration of military hardware would show "weakness."
