A tankless job, but someone has to do it.

Remember when Democrat Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis rode around in a tank during the campaign?

I’d love to see those tanks up close.

A couple years ago, I got excited because I saw one being hauled down the highway

Tanks are truly beautiful machines.

They’ll kill you in a minute, but they are truly beautiful machines.

Kind of like Apple products.

Where were the tanks? Thought there’d be a parade but couldn’t find video

Sen. Bernie Sanders on #TrumpParade: "I think we need money to go into affordable housing. I think we need money to go into rebuilding our infrastructure. I'm not quite sure that we need money to go into put tanks in downtown Washington, DC, frankly." pic.twitter.com/olLK5ou6MO— The Hill (@thehill) July 4, 2019

How many people could fit into ALL of the Democrats second and third homes? I think we need to find out NOW! Dox each one and find their property. Bust it open and let the homeless settle where they see fit. Lastly, force each DEMOCRAT to support their new tenants.

Democrats CHEER Soviet tanks moving into Czechoslovakia to crush freedom.

Democrats BOO the US Military static display of a few Bradley Fighting Vehicles during a July 4th event.

Democrats HATE America. Democrats have always LOVED Communists and their crushing of Democracy which is what the Democrats and their military wing of AntiFa are now doing across the US.

This kind of crap actually worries me.

Because the more they talk to each other in their echo chamber saying, "This is what Trump is planning to do to us!" the more they will believe it's true.

And the more they believe it's true, the easier it will be for them to use this as a justification down the road for when they think there's an opportunity to do it to us.

Because the excuse will be, "Hey, this is what THEY would have done if they had the power to get away with it, so they're just getting their just desserts. And we are really doing nothing more than just Preventive Self-Defense",

Arguably the best overall tank in the world. With a tactical cruising range of approximately 275 miles. Despite it's weight, the M1 can attain a top speed of nearly 45 miles per hour. A truly formidable machine

As far as I can tell the M1’s were a no show on the mall. Was Trump trolling or did someone talk him out of showing them off?

I had the opportunity to ride in an Abrams several years ago at White Sands Missile Range, it was a great experience. They ride incredibly smooth. What really impressed me is how quick they maneuver and stop.

They’re already planning it.

Trump interrupted their timetable by kicking hilary’s ass in the election.

Not only that, the wimps at the Pentagon took the Chain Guns out of the Bradleys and left them on the trailers.

Not only did they leave the tanks home (which we saw on those same streets after the Gulf War), they turned the M3s into 30 ton armored radios on static display.

But, luckily, we get to keep fruits in uniform and girls in the infantry.

Saw a bunch of them go by on flatbed railroad cars about 15 years back. Cool!

It originally came with a hot plate and coffee pot.

Can I really get tanks and stuff from Allied Party Rentals?

I heard that there was some concern over the M1s causing damage to the roads during turns.

The chain guns were mounted for the festivities.

Get a grip, for God’s Sake!
