“The M1 Abrams tank has been a staple of the Army's armor corps for decades. It carries several different calibers of machine guns and can weigh over 62 tons. The two will be on stationary display out of concerns they could damage the street.”

Two tanks? That's it? All the hand-wringing has been over two M1 Abrams?

For the record, an M1 Abram exerts about 15 psi on the street.

A 100-pound woman wearing stiletto heels exerts about 1,500 psi on the street, or on your wood floor.

I also read that the tanks, and possibly the Bradly, will be static displays.

Of course, if you listened to the screaming skulls (used to be knows as “talking heads,”) you’d think this would be the sort of military hardware parade as seen in the Soviet Union on May Day!

Of course, that’s exactly the sort of impression that they want to convey, that President Trump is a dictator. While it’s the NY Slimes that actively supports genocidal dictators, like Hitler and Stalin, by actively hiding hiding their crimes against humanity by refusing to report on them.

While I totally agree with the sentiment and the facts of your post, I would point out that the end connectors on the tracks can eat up some curb and gutter like hot butter. I know. I tore up a few here and there in Germany.

I vaguely remember in my little town as a 70s kid a couple of tanks being in parades a few times. Local NG armor.
