Trump’s Military Parade Planned For Veterans Day — Without Tanks

[Lakhota]

The parade will cost taxpayers up to $30 million.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A military parade requested by President Donald Trump will take place in November on Veterans Day in Washington D.C., but to minimize damage to roads it will not include tanks, a Pentagon memo released on Friday said.

Last month Trump asked the Pentagon to explore a parade in celebration of American troops after the Republican president marveled at the Bastille Day military parade he attended in Paris last year.

The memo listed a number of guidelines for the parade on Nov. 11 and said the parade route will be from the White House to the Capitol and have a “heavy air component at the end of the parade.”

“Include wheeled vehicles only, no tanks - consideration must be given to minimize damage to local infrastructure,” the memo said.

It added that the parade would focus on the contributions of U.S. military veterans throughout history, starting from the American Revolutionary War.

Critics have argued that a parade could cost millions of dollars at a time when the Pentagon wants more stable funding for an over-stretched military.

The parade will cost taxpayers up to $30 million, the White House budget chief has said.

I wonder if he'll invite Kim? That way, they can both get off at looking at military hardware together
and talk about who's button is bigger. BFF's.

Stupid fucking bed wetters...

 

[shockedcanadian]

Is that before or after the mid-term elections?

I don't see anything wrong with it, though I understand it's a divisive issue.

Damn, the tanks are the best part! I hope there will at least be some fighter jets in the sky

$30 million? No problem, we'll just defund a bunch more liberal money-wasters.

Let's see, where can we start? PBS? NPR? the Department of Education? Food stamps? Welfare?

 

[Confounding]

I could probably think of a few things 30 million dollars could be better spent on, but hey, at least it's not going towards helping poor people.

 

[Moonglow]

No tanks so they think tanks are the only tracked vehicles?

Can't have that shit going on, plus it will be a good day for a sneak attack...

I find it hilarious that you see military parades as more useful than the Department of Education.

Trump the arrogant, tin-pot dictator.

And Trump’s failed effort to ‘justify’ his idiotic parade by conducting it on Veterans Day renders Trump that much more reprehensible.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

He should send the parade through Sacramento, and then ... deploy them.

"The primary functions of the Department of Education are to 'establish policy for, administer and coordinate most federal assistance to education, collect data on US schools, and to enforce federal educational laws regarding privacy and civil rights.' "

Well, that IS pretty damned useless.

 

[Tilly]

Excellent news!
Go Trump!

 

[Camp]

Wonder if there will be a large contingent of homeless veterans pushing shopping carts. A $30 million dollar parade is just what veterans need.

Oh, yeah. The coordination of funding for public education is totally useless. You know what? Fuck it; let's just cut all funding for public education and give it to the military instead.

How about military spending. That's the biggest form of welfare in the country.
