Still, the official said Trump is determined to have a parade. The president wants to do something that highlights the service and sacrifice of the military and have a unifying moment for the country, the official said.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Liberal heads will explode over this...

Several administration officials said the parade planning began in recent weeks and involves White House chief of staff John F. Kelly, but cautioned that it is in the preliminary stages. D.C. officials said they have not been notified of parade plans.~~~~~~~~~~~~Get the popcorn ready...

American shows of military strength dont come cheap. The cost of shipping Abrams tanks and high-tech hardware to Washington could run in the millions, and military officials said it was unclear how they would pay for it. But Obama and Hillary had no problem paying for sending high-tech hardware to enemies and letting them have it for free, in some cases it can and will be used against us. And it was much more than a few millions.

The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France, said a military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the planning discussions are supposed to remain confidential. This is being worked at the highest levels of the military.
I call WaPo bullnews.

With 10,000 sealed indictments and talk about tribunals to clear so many trials it seems normal to secure the capitol from both sides for the trials.

I absolutely LOVE it! It will encourage patriotism and recruitment. Great idea. As a small child during WWII, I loved the parades put on by the services, especially whomever was clashing the cymbals in the band.

Im thinking like you, except I think President Trump is planning a victory parade!
Because later this year, the military will have utterly destroyed the Swamp!

"American shows of military strength dont come cheap." Maybe the money would be better spent on spare parts for airplanes or teaching the Navy how to steer their ships.

As the widow of a retired USAF pilot who served in Nam, I am thrilled and honored that President Trump wants to honor our military, past, present, and future. My late husband would have been so honored. The thought brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you God for giving us Donald Trump, our awesome patriot President, who honored this nation by asking General Kelly and General Mattis to serve in his Administration!!
We’re blessed with a Commander in Chief who gave our military ROE that allows them to win again and ROE that are saving lives and allowing our military to “kick butt.”
I can’t wait to see the parade!! MAGA

If the facility is for “secret” discussions, how did Jeff Bezos’ Blog get into the room?
Perhaps, Michael Isikoff or his spouse, the sleuth, had special clearance to attend the meeting. /sarc
