Ah, we dont need to show em off, we got em.

Let NK and Russia do that ####.

The men and regular vehicles are enough.

I’m wondering if they checked in with POTUS before releasing this memo.

I was wondering about the ground pressure. It appears that an Abrams has about half the ground pressure of a passenger car, and about 1/6 the ground pressure of a racing bike.

I want tanks. Battleships, too. Throw in a mortar and artillery demonstration. And I don’t care about DC streets. That’s what Home Depot made hot tar patches for.

““include a heavy air component at the end of the parade,”

I hope that includes a Aurora fly-by.

Abrams is fun to knock around in, for a while.

The army and the air force have all the fun. I demand a frigate in the parade! On rollers. Pulled by Democrats in chains.

Back in 1991 I saw the 1st Batallion of the 1st Marine Regiment march down Broadway in San Diego. They did not have tanks, but just the sight of the regimental flag with all of those battle streamers made my heart skip a beat.

Just paint Joy Behar green and brown.

Her schnoz is big enough to be a cannon.

To all my fellow Vets.

March on Vets Day!

Either in DC, or local, but this is the one to march and feel proud.

BTW, I have marched in a Vet's Day parade, and it was terrific.

No strict cadence (as in boot camp) but we walked in a comfortable and coordinated fashion.

You do not need your old uni. (It doesn't fit anyhoo.) I had a USAF VET hat, and a USAF polo (if it were any colder, you would have just seen a jacket.)

People along the route smiled and thanked (and I thanked THEM back).

The bands were playing stirring marching music

And, little kids gave me little thankyou notes.

Priceless!

Let us do this!

LET US DO THIS!

Thanks, President Trump, for the recognition and the chance to show this Fine Country our pride and spirit.

Lots of FMTV troop carriers dressed
in their “B” kit armor, and .50 cals
in the turrets.
I thought at one time, tanks could be
outfitted with rubber tracks just for
parade purposes?
