They could bring in Strykers from the PA National Guard BCT and uparmored Humvees from almost everywhere. That could increase the “cool” factor and be cost-conscientious.
A few tanks as show pieces would be cool, I think. My boys would absolutely love it.
On the mall? Why not on the boarder?
Was in DC for the Victory parade in 1991. They had everything in their, Abrams, Patriot carriers, every plane that flew in the war, F117, warthogs etc. And all armor was rolling down the street, not on static display. They had to take turns with the Abrams closing the bridge
e at a time near the Jefferson (?) Memorial, but they did it. It’s just hate Trump is the problem

Isn’t that the one where he said July 2nd?

The 4th of July is to celebrate a Declaration of Independence. Victory was still many years away.
I love our military troops in all branches, but I personally could do without celebrations turning into military displays like red square or Pyongyang.
I would rather see some army, navy, air force, and marine units marching in dress uniforms, along with maybe some reenactment units of colonial troops and muskets, each with the colors flying before them. A fly over by the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds would be fine as they already have a show budget anyway.
Would cost a heck of a lot less and still be appropriate.
Oh, and lots of BBQ :)
If the tanks are too destructive to the pavement maybe we can just roll some nukes along instead. We can even paint them with rainbows.
Wy are the dims getting their panties in a wad when the president wants to do it in DC?
The federal fovernment has jurisdiction over Washington D.C. D.C. Council has as much power as Uncle Sam would allow them to have.
Because President Trump is doing it. It doesn't matter what he does, they're going to claim it's horrible. Ignore them, other than paying enough attention to know your enemy.
The despots in D.C. will be shitting their pants if actual tanks with actual guns enter the Capital.
CNN: Trump To Intimidate Americans With Tanks.
Which differs from the Republicans how?
I have no problem with tanks. Gotta set the stage for a great 4th of July celebration!
