Several administration officials said the parade planning began in recent weeks and involves White House chief of staff John F. Kelly, but cautioned that it is in the preliminary stages. D.C. officials said they have not been notified of parade plans.~~~~~~~~~~~~Get the popcorn ready...

American shows of military strength don’t come cheap. The cost of shipping Abrams tanks and high-tech hardware to Washington could run in the millions, and military officials said it was unclear how they would pay for it.

But Obama and Hillary had no problem paying for sending high-tech hardware to enemies and letting them have it for free, in some cases it can and will be used against us. And it was much more than a few millions.

“The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France,” said a military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the planning discussions are supposed to remain confidential. “This is being worked at the highest levels of the military.”

I call WaPo bullnews.

With 10,000 sealed indictments and talk about tribunals to clear so many trials it seems normal to secure the capitol from both sides for the trials.

I absolutely LOVE it! It will encourage patriotism and recruitment. Great idea. As a small child during WWII, I loved the parades put on by the services, especially whomever was clashing the cymbals in the band.

As the widow of a retired USAF pilot who served in Nam, I am thrilled and honored that President Trump wants to honor our military, past, present, and future. My late husband would have been so honored. The thought brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you God for giving us Donald Trump, our awesome patriot President, who honored this nation by asking General Kelly and General Mattis to serve in his Administration!!

We’re blessed with a Commander in Chief who gave our military ROE that allows them to win again and ROE that are saving lives and allowing our military to “kick butt.”

I can’t wait to see the parade!! MAGA

Well, since all that military hardware and personnel will be in town, might as well use those resources to round up all the swamp dwellers in one fell swoop.

Very bad idea IMO. Tinpot dictators stage big military parades but American presidents speak softly and carry big sticks. We have many other ways of letting foreign powers know we are strong. Besides, the Opposition is all to ready to typecast Trump as a “dictator” and this would fuel their media propaganda attacks.

Liberals hate our flag, anthem and military.

CNN talking heads ridiculed the notion of a Russian/French style military parade down Pennsylvania Ave.

Jeffrey Toobin compared it to aping North Korea.

That’s how much the Left looks down on patriotism. Just another reason to bash Trump.

Mixed feelings on this. I don’t think we need to emulate Communist China or Russia with a purely military parade, but perhaps there could be a bigger military component to some other holiday. That way it would be a regular recurring event.

How about We save $$$$ and have the Parade at Local Military Bases across the Country and not Ship Harware around?

Just a Brain Fart.

Can’t afford a parade, but 30 million illegals choking off jobs, social services, hospitals, jails, schools while sending billions out of the country annually, is no problem.

I don’t love this idea, unless the President uses it as a distraction while he achieves something amazing in the background.
