I can just see it now.

The whole Democrat party could be there.

It took three Washington compost “reporters” to p*ss themselves over this. This country flushes a million dollars away every minute. These idiots can go find something else to do as we celebrate America.

The America that we know will cease to exist once DJT leaves office. By then decent people will be fully replaced by the vermin crawling over the border. We’ll be forced to fight to survive, with some choosing to take a knee rather than resist. The constitution will afford no protection to someone like me, and I don’t expect any.

“Victory was still many years away”

Good point.

I don’t have a problem with the tanks. Let’s give our ground troops some attention. The flyboys get too much comparatively speaking.

Overall a tank fleet certainly is cheaper to maintain than an aircraft fleet.

I’m glad the title says “military tanks”, I really didn’t want to put that many miles on mine.

Whatever happens is personally fine with me. We should always honor our servicemen and vets.

But I like that Trump has limited the ‘extravagances’ seen by previous admins, and if this runs up a tab, it just feeds the MSM. Fundamentally I am of the opinion that while we have the finest military in the world, we are better served by not looking ‘Tiananmen square’, again because the left will label Trump as a fascist and use photos of tanks in the streets as talking points.

Finally, since I am retired Navy, I think if we cant parade a battleship, then the army cant have a tank. :)

I bet that if President Trump sent out a call for volunteers, at least a dozen Shermans would show up, and probably some Willy’s and a Stuart or two.

(And if we’re lucky, a Hellcat sighting would be dandy)

You’re welcome but I must admit

that there have been years

several in fact and recently that

I did not find it easy to celebrate.

NOW THOSE DAYS ARE GONE! but

let us all now firmly re-commit ourselves to

“Mutually pledge to each other

our lives,

our fortunes and

our sacred honor”

that they may never again return.

I live near Aberdeen Proving Grounds. It’s not unusual to see tanks and other very heavy equipment, often under tarps on the freeway heading in or out.

Newsflash to the weenies, they’re not going to drive them down the freeway, instead they will unload them just like they do a Cat excavator.

How much does it cost to fly Air Force 1 near the Statue of Liberty?

Probably about as much as it will cost for Air Force One to fly over the mall on Thursday.

I was asking because if you remember, when Obama was seated in the White House, he took a few people on a tour of NYC to take pictures from AF1.

Actually, there is no problem. It is just President Trump. Everything and anything he does the Democrats and media bitch, cry, and carp about. Hell with them. The entire eight years that the Kenyan traitor occupied the White House, you never heard a peep of criticism. As far as I am concerned they can all go to Hell and take Hillary and Bill Clinton with them.

Here's the schedule for the day's events...

Details for President Trump’s July 4th National Mall event released

Anyone know if any of this is being televised? And, if so, by whom/what?

Oh I think CNN/MSNBC will probably have it covered and antifa will believe them.

“I think I could do without the tanks.”

Nobody cares what you think.
