Twin celebrations of the Army’s 250th anniversary and the president’s birthday will include as many as 25 tanks rolling through Washington.

Twin celebrations of Donald Trump’s birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary will include as many as 25 tanks rolling through Washington in a celebration that will cost $25 million to $45 million, U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday.

U.S. military service branches take pride in their history and anniversary celebrations, called birthdays, across the United States and on bases around the world.

The U.S. Army had long been planning to move troops and equipment to the National Mall in Washington on June 14 as part of its anniversary celebration. Plans now include a parade since that coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday.

Two U.S. officials told Reuters, on condition of anonymity, the eventual cost could be as high as $45 million. One of them said the cost included several million dollars more than it would have without a parade.

      So? How many of these happened without the outside instigation and assistance I mentioned? Copying and pasting a list of every revolution is kinda missing the point. Also, how many of these ended up with as bad or worse dictatorships?

          Oh, it’s definitely karma. It’s just ignorant to expect Americans to overthrow the government and not end up with something even worse than we have today. That’s just not how the modern world works.
