Other than cost why such an outcry against a 4th of July parade in Washington D.C. that involves military equipment?

It's snowing big flakes!

If the protesters get out of hand the equipment will be right there to deal with them,lol.
Couple of those big flamethrowers should work well to dispese the crowd.
I wonder if any lefties will stand in front of the tank like the chinamen in tianamin square?

Winner winner chicken dinner

I thought all 4th of July parades had active and retired military personnel and military equipment, like anti aircraft guns, jeeps, tanks, trucks, humvees, half tracks and tanks in them. Every 4th of July parade I have ever attended did. The troops always carried firearms. Fly overs of military aircraft usually happened too.

The Dayton Airshow must make liberals really cry.

It's just nuts. Granted I wish it didn't cost so much but if your going to spend money like .gov does, at least this money is spent in celebration of our Republic and the liberty it once/does bestow.

They said they are worried about damage to the roads,lol.
I guess they got better roads in China,Nork and Russia where they haul around all those honkin big nuclear bombs up and down the streets a few times a year.

Only because Trump asked for it.

The only big deal I see is calling it a 4th of July parade. Independence Day parade I have no issues with.

Because such parades have soley been the domain of militant dictators and communists...

I like and respect both of you, but you are both very wrong. Just do a quick search for "images tanks or military equipment in 4th of July parades" and you will find thousands of images. They even have tanks in parades in California.

That's not the same as what people think of...when people here about having military equipment, they are thinking of columns of tanks and other hardware and divisions of men parading through. A few tanks isn't what we are envisioning as who thinks Trump would be happy with a few tanks.

Here's the column of tanks delivered to Washington D.C. today. Spooky......

According to CNN, there will only be 4 tanks:

I was at a parade in Piqua, Ohio, that had 6 tanks, in the mid seventies. I had an uncle who rode one. I have seen tanks in lots of parades. I don't see how having 4 tanks in Washington DC is a big deal at all.

Keith

People should be happy to see the equipment and troops that keep them safe while they live their lives doing what they choose to do.

It may scare our northern and southern neighbors?!?!

Trump should publicly endorse and encourage breathing air , clean beautiful air ,
possibly the best air ever ,lol

Might thin out the liberal ranks .

That's gonna look pretty lame compared to the Russians.
When we want to show off we round up the red serge.

If CNN says four it ain't gonna be four..... Nothing but liars
