As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Vice President JD Vance delivers a powerful, unapologetic speech during the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C. With President Trump watching on, Vance calls the American military a “precious resource” and hints at readiness for conflict amid the Israel-Iran showdown. Was this parade more than just celebration—was it a message?

00:00This evening, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, all across our
00:06nation's capital and all across the world, happy birthday soldiers, we're proud of you.
00:11When we do ask you to go to war, we give you the weapons and the support needed to kick
00:16the hell out of the enemy and come back home safely.
00:18It is, of course, the birthday of the President of the United States, and happy birthday,
00:22Mr. President, that it's also my wedding anniversary.
00:25And so to my lovely wife, I love you, honey, happy anniversary, and thank you for everything
00:30that you do for our country.
00:32Well, let me say to the thousands of Americans who traveled from distant towns and across
00:39state lines to be here today, this is your national capital.
00:43Welcome to Washington, D.C.
00:44We are thrilled to have you.
00:52This evening, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, the oldest branch
00:58of the greatest fighting force ever known to man, I want to say to all the soldiers all
01:05across our nation's capital and all across the world, happy birthday soldiers, we're proud
01:10of you.
01:11And I want to say you represent an unbroken line of greatness, of excellence.
01:21And one of the things the President of the United States has told his entire administration,
01:26from the Vice President on down, is that we must remember that the young men and women
01:31who put on the uniform and serve this nation are our most precious resource.
01:36We must honor them.
01:37We must respect them.
01:39We must fight for them.
01:40And that's exactly what the Trump administration aims to do every single day.
01:50And so to our soldiers, we're so proud of you.
01:53And let me tell you that the way that we honor and respect you is, number one, we never ask
01:58you to go to war unless you absolutely have to.
02:01And number two, when we do ask you to go to war, we give you the weapons and the support
02:06needed to kick the hell out of the enemy and come back home safely.
02:11Now, I know I am the last thing standing between the main event, and that is a dangerous place
02:21to be with a lot of soldiers in the audience.
02:23So let me just say a couple of quick additional thoughts.
02:26First of all, June the 14th is, of course, the birthday of the Army.
02:30It is, of course, the birthday of the President of the United States.
02:33And happy birthday, Mr. President.
02:40But I would get in trouble if I didn't mention that it's also my wedding anniversary.
02:45And so to my lovely wife, I love you, honey.
02:47Happy anniversary.
02:49And thank you for everything that you do for our country.
02:54So without further ado, it is my pleasure to introduce the 45th and 47th Commander-in-Chief
03:02of the United States military, President Donald J. Trump.
