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

Grandiose?
He should send the military tanks to Portland.
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.
I think I could do without the tanks.
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
and other flourishes are added

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!
and Rockets , lots and lots of Rockets

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.
“[Independence Day] will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.”

We’ve always had tanks in our July 4th parade. Why is this a problem?
Tanks are probably too much, except as show pieces. For something that would work better, if there is a chance they might need to *do* something, would be M1126 Stryker Combat Vehicles. They could definitely fend off any car or truck bombs. Likewise they could quickly tow away smaller vehicles.
