Why can’t the tanks just be on a trailer?

Truck in a thousand prisoners to put down a 1 layer of sand, and then shovel it back up. Better yet, round up all the college students in the metro DC area and put them to work.
because nothing says land of the free like slave labor

I want tanks. Battleships, too. Throw in a mortar and artillery demonstration. And I don’t care about DC streets. That’s what Home Depot made hot tar patches for. How about a hypersonic cruise missile fly by? With red, white, and blue contrails, of course!
And a live GoPro feed from on board!

I think we scrapped most of our tanks, so this decision makes sense.

I remember when we had TRAILERS to carry tanks.
I guess our military scrapped them too.

Watched three Rambo movies in a row Thursday night/early morning. Lots of good shoot-em-up scenes in all three.
Then, so many Hollywood types complain about regular citizens having guns...

M1 Abrams is supposedly manufactured in Huron Ohio, I have never seen one being shipped on a train or by truck. U may laugh, but I believe all America's Abrams are shipped to foreign lands.
Another thing, go to the entrance of any military base and u find a guard with an m16, u would think an Abrams would be posted there too as a message and added security. I am willing to bet that no tanks are on any military bases.

” though he may get no tanks for the effort.”
“Big, heavy tanks could tear up District of Columbia streets.”
More stupid fake news from the lying media.
I hope Trump will piss on this pile of journalist nonsense.

IOW, Trump wins and they specify no tanks/treaded vehicles when he probably never envisioned having something out there to tear up the infrastructure...

DC’s streets are a pothole-ridden nightmare. Tanks tear them up and guess what DC will do? Bill the federal taxpayer for repairing DC’s dang streets. God bless the tank corps, but I’m for making DC pay for its own dang road repair.

The subway in DC has enough problems no need to add to that already failing system.

Since 9/11 planes cant fly over DC. I SAW THE BLUE ANGELS FLY INDC for the Reagan funeral procession it was amazing how low they flew. Ive seen them many times but in DC it was the best get tickets and hotel rooms now.

It is my belief that the Standard Products Company made neoprene pads that were bolted on to tracks providing a coushioned surface while reducing the psf contact load.
