“But no tanks, please.”
Do they embarrass you? I’d like to see them, and I think many other Americans would too.
It will be a TINY part of the military - it’s not like the whole military has to stand down for this.
“Anybody who says the military doesn’t want to participate is full of shirt.”
That’s what I’m figuring too. Most people I know in the military are PROUD OF IT, and want to show others their stuff.
> Do they embarrass you? <
Naw. Just trying to save a buck. Tanks are not cost-effective to move around.
In my wildest dreams, I never, ever thought of military parade, but if President Trump wants it:
I LOVE IT!!!!
It's always good to give any vehicle a little bit of "exercise"", instead of just letting it sit still and decay in the garage...
If the President is going to be there, the SS may have an issue with that idea.
“Naw. Just trying to save a buck. Tanks are not cost-effective to move around.”
True...but Trump just boosted military spending big-time, and the cost of moving even tanks is peanuts compared to that.
Why?
Seriously, what do we have to prove?
Who are we trying to impress? Or who are we trying To scare. Are we celebrating a military victory?
A parade like this is going to cost tens of millions of dollars.
If you want to see tanks, I have a copy of Patton I can loan you.
Forgive me, but I have seen this man on several occasions, and I feel he is not genuine. There is something disturbing about him. Not the least of which, his buddies, don’t appear to me, to be very supportive.
Makes me wonder if he was the one who took “the shot.”
Perhaps the real shooter has the intellect not to brag about it.
Tell them that a gay pride parade can follow up the military parade and it all should be good to go...../s =.=
I would love to see some hardware. Planes and helicopers and why not tanks? Are they a little scary?
I’m glad it’s not another perverted gay parade.
LOL
I believe in the ability of free enterprise to improve quality & reduce prices. Highway socialism doesn’t work. Socialism hasn’t worked for 60 years.
Let’s eliminate the federal gasoline tax and fully privatize the interstates. Use the funds raised to pay off the National Debt.
Nah. I attended the parade in DC after the Gulf War. Huge crowds, cheering, highly motivating.
Time again to embrace our inner warrior.
Yes, if they did it on Veterans Day they would be celebrating then 100th anniversary of the end of WW2. MAGA
Correction WW1.
> Are they a little scary? <
My goodness. Kindly see my post #24.
Didn’t see that FRiend. I shouldn’t have been so snarky.
you do realize the the phrase ‚warrior‘ is about as UnAmerican as it can be ?
Is a perversion of 200 years of our Republics ideals. The term only became used in the 1990s; another sign of decline
My younger son was stationed in DC with Marine Presidential Security Forces in 2004. He had a car there and always maintained traffic signs there were merely suggestions.
