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.
America is a failed state, your poor die because they can’t afford hospitals, your rich steal everything they want, and use your armed forces as their toys.
You are a disgrace, shame on all of you for not introducing this man and his friends to Madame Guillotine.
The world see you as weak and it will take a generation to repair the dammage you have done to your reputation.
Fught for fucks sake are you just waiting for him to die so u can get a new dictator?
I support the criticisms, but history will just see this as the thousandth time this has happened across the globe, and not nearly the only place it’s happening right now.
Generally speaking revolutions like you speak of are not a feature of the modern world. They only happen when a stronger and more wealthy outside force helps drive them. That’s notably not something that can happen in the strongest and most wealthy country in the world.
In America they dont your docile the rest of us over throw our fascists
Oh, sure. That’s why there are no other fascists in power anywhere in the whole world.

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?
Lots did and mostly in the 20th century because of America fucking about with goverments to stop socialism so might be karma
GUYS I FOUND THE WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING
This is why we can’t have 30 dolls
I don’t know how common this sentiment is but I see a major military parade on US soil as an embarrassment. No uninvited foreign troops have set foot in the contiguous US since the Mexican American War ended in 1848. There hasn’t been a military battle in the contiguous US since Wounded Knee in 1890, inasmuch as Wounded Knee was a battle. Part of the privileges that Americans enjoy is that that level of conflict happens elsewhere. Large displays of military power at home deminish us.
Not to mention he’s a draft dodger as well. He doesn’t deserve a military parade based on that alone.
I have few teachers I can remember lessons from my high school days, 20+ years ago. The US was fresh post 9/11, patriot act era.
AP History teacher, a Vietnam vet, took his time to explain why only “tinpot dictators” need military parades to show power and US armed forces Generals would never go for it.
While teaching checks-and-balances, he firmly believed enough good men and women would remain in positions of power to never let a dictator override the constitution.
Another time, he pointed out that the presidential election is never actually called until the candidate concedes (when asked about gore v w) and that fore conceded because that is what is done. When we pressed him on it, he said “You are teenage boys, and you think like teenage boys. Adults know what’s right, even if it means you lose.”
All that is to say, I consistently see reminders that this current administration has the same mental thought process as a group of teenage boys, spoiled teenagers who started at third and think they hit a home run.
To be fair, did Trump ever actually concede after 2020? Dude still says he won.
All military parades are ridiculously embarrassing.
I remember when they used to air the annual Scottish tattoo on tv.
I mean, it’s probably fun for anyone who participates or has a hard on for bagpipes, but for the rest of the world, it’s a ridiculous event where an audience shows up to watch men in uniform walk in beat and show their rifles in sync. It’s like square dancing, but only for men, and longer guns.
Good thing that I can switch channels, so I can watch syncronized swimming from the Olympics instead. I like their uniforms better.
The battle of Blair Mountain is the closest modern battle in the contiguous U.S.
Just give Trump the option of taking the cash in lieu of the parade and BOOM no more parade.
And this will fix the economy and end the war in Ukraine and Gaza how?
In reality we all know it wont do shit.
In Trump’s mind it will show the world what a glorious and powerful leader he is, and everyone will just do what he demands.
Sadly yes.
We’ll see the plan isn’t to end any wars, it’s to profit off of them. And when they said they were going to fix the economy, they meant they were going to make money off the U.S. populous. Americans as a whole have lost money since they came in, but they have made a lot of money themselves.
Some new Luigi needs to pull off a Tiananmen Square: Washington Drift
I assume they’re wanting to do it for the U.S.’s LAST birthday?
Hopefully for Trump’s
Historically speaking, USSR / Russia, China, and NK have loved to talk up the capabilities of their kit, and these parades were a big part of that. They have frequently failed to deliver on all of their promised capabilities.
In the United States we have done the opposite. We don’t talk about our latest gen aircraft programs; we hide them out in the desert. When we do talk we remain cagey about what we have for years and decades, until long after we’ve started selling it to allies.
I understand that this parade will not show off our real capabilities (not at 25 tanks anyway), but I am saddened that the man feels like he needs to stoop to the level of the adversaries we’ve held for so long.
He’s mad that Putin and el-Sisi both got cool military parades. I remember him wanting to do this in his first term.
as many as 25 tanks rolling through Washington
I hope they shred Pennsylvania Ave. to smithereens… 🤡 🖕
I don’t think they will do much if they go in a straight line. If they start doing donuts then it would probably wreck some shit.
The little girl only needs 3 pencils. The little boy needs multi-million dollar attention.
The cost of the charade, eh parade:
When the Tao is present in the universe,
The horses haul manure.
When the Tao is absent from the universe,
War horses are bred outside the city.So another republican did a milatary parade, interesting.
When he kicks the bucket they will just replace him with someone from the creators of project 2025.
I’m betting that they continue to play puppet-master with Donald Trump Jr.
