"These tanks, heavy equipment, and weapons of war have no place on the National Mall at all, particularly as we celebrate the Fourth of July. INDEPENDENCE DAY."

Call the holiday by its correct name, and the screaming absurdity of her comment becomes manifest.

It does not cost “millions of dollars” to repair damaged asphalt. (Unless the government is managing the project)

Much better that they be used on protesters, as with the *Bonus Army* demonstration, crushed by Major's Patton and Eisenhower against aVeteran's march.

First off, is it all possible that EVERY tank fire in her general direction?

Just with the co-ax, for a soft-skinned dismount. But they'll have to aim wide; she's further to the left than she seems.

Back in West Germany in the 80s, every tank company on maneuvers had a damage officer following along throwing checks out to the locals. Or at least it seemed like that. We incidentally chewed cars, curbs, and buildings regularly.

When our [70th Armor] drivers got drowsy on a road march from Munich to Augsburg in the 1960s, our Battalion Commander ordered his driver to take out every other mile post....

Nope. Bradleys, and M1A2 SEP, with the T158LL replaceable track pads. Good for about 2000 miles. There's a similiar track shoe & pad for the German-built Leopards.
