The Marines were in Charlotte last year for a good will tour. They showed up with Tanks, helicopters and Ospreys.
So, what’s the problem?

How much does it cost the government to feed and house illegals each day?

D.C. council weighed in, citing concerns about the massive weight of the tanks potentially damaging roads, infrastructure.

We have said it before, and we’ll say it again: Tanks, but no tanks. (PS: The @DeptofDefense agrees, see highlighted area below) pic.twitter.com/ock2EORKNz

I like the spirit of the big bad tank but it really needs to be driven right into the front porch of Portland City Hall to symbolize that America does not have hollow balls.

This will keep our domestic enemies busy until the 5th.

I figure the fascists will climb on and harass them.

That number could rise as additional military aircraft

Well the flourishes don’t come cheap. LOL

It’s always quaint when someone in government is concerned with what things cost.

The only time the Democrats are concerned with cost is when it is for something they don’t like.

I want tanks, boats, jets, howitzers and blood-thirsty marines all pledging loyalty to our president for life, Donald J Trump!

From the usual lefty bitchers and whiners.

It’s not that hard. A pretty routine operation, really.

Damage- insignificant.

They’ll have antifa on the Fourth, and Trump will have tanks. Sounds fair.

Hmmm; maybe we could start a rumor they intend to roll over the Rat opposition in the House.

Tanks, meh. I want to see the USS Abraham Lincoln pull into the Washington Naval Yard, get lifted onto a buttload of furniture dollies, and wheeled over to the Mall reflecting pool.
