The U.S. Army is planning a historic parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., on June 14 that will coincide with and be part of the Army’s long-planned 250th celebration.
The parade will involve some 6,600 soldiers, tanks and infantry vehicles, helicopter flyovers and parachute jumps, according to several people familiar with the planning effort, and will also occur on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.
The timing and White House involvement in planning efforts have stoked speculation that Trump is using the Army’s birthday as an excuse to get the kind of grand military parade he wanted during his first term in office. That event was scrapped after estimates topped $90 million.
Hey, maybe this will finally get U.S liberals to take the immense threat of blind nationalistic militarism in the U.S. seriously instead of just acquiescing to conservatives about everything on the topic… … …
…or it will just be a dress rehearsal for using the military to cement the Republican coup.
Rehearsal? The coup is already complete my friend. Know what the worst part is? The US voted for it.
