Independence Day army parade

Just hit the independence day repeat at week 127, which adds the "Host a parade" option to the previous "Give a speech" and "Pay for a lavish fireworks display" options. Two things look odd:

  1. Text output for choosing "Host a parade" starts with

line for huge army */ The citizens of...

  1. Parade LOWERS rep. I'm assuming this is because not enough upgrades have been constructed...but my firebase is at 76/140 (54%). As far as the option's text goes:

+The citizens are relieved to see troops outfitted with the absolute latest gear.

-The slight twitchiness and high-end alertness of troops makes your citizens afraid that they may get a face full of lead.

+The advanced heavy armor and support vehicles in use inspires confidence in your citizens.

+Seeing the numerous advanced aircraft assures your citizens that they are safe from the air.

+Seeing the latest and greatest drones buzzing over head (should be one word) assures your citizens that they are unmatched.

+The sight of troops professionally holstering their weapons provides your citizens with a sense of safety.

From the player viewpoint, seems like a single overall negative effect compared to multiple positive ones, so why the rep loss?
