Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on Donald Trump’s birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned.
The planning documents, obtained by the AP, are dated April 29 and 30 and have not been publicly released. They represent the Army’s most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th birthday festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed.
While the slides do not include any price estimates, it would likely cost tens of millions of dollars to put on a parade of that size. Costs would include the movement of military vehicles, equipment, aircraft and troops from across the country to Washington and the need to feed and house thousands of service members.
Those soldiers have the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Set aside that day on your calendar to go to the nearest mass protest to you.
Working on sign ideas:
“Remember Your Oath”
“Your Oath is to the Constitution”
“Is this the same Army that defeated the Nazis?”
Too soft but a good start.
“Next America experiment, Impeachment conviction!”
“He deported citizens”
“Detention camps are popular in China”
“Ukraine was first, you are next”
“Two branches to throw him out”
“Republicans are losing their retirement too”
“Kill the wolf daddy - children of freedom”
That’s probably enough, definitely would make a watchlist.
Personally, If they’re going to do this, I think they should get another 60 soldiers to do it right
Calling it now, he wears a military uniform during the parade. It’s on my America Falls bingo card.
He hates and cannot comprehend the idea of military service. He thinks it is far beneath him. I don’t think he would want to be caught dead in a uniform.
He’ll wear his same tailored suits that try their damnedest to straighten out his grotesque figure. He may wear some nonsense bauble on his lapel to signify that he’s in charge but that’s about it.
tailored
That fat fuck is too cheap to have his suits tailored. He wears them off the rack in the wrong size.
He’s very particular about his appearance (and quick to denigrate the appearance of others). He probably spends a good deal of money. He just doesn’t get good results for that money because he’s never had the personal discipline to actually be healthy, and ya know, he’s fucking 81. There’s only so much a suit and bronzer can do.
One of the defining things about American power was that they were so big and powerful and all present everywhere in the world that you didn’t need big military parades of helicopters, jets, tanks and armies marching through the streets. The world knew they were powerful.
No better sign of respect than to have the world know you are the strongest by not saying or doing a thing to announce it.
It’s like a mafia … you don’t need a big display of cars, guns and things to know that they are top dog and control everything.
Wanting to show a big display of military hardware and big groups of soldiers is something a third world or developing country does to show a bit of strength.
It’s like the US wants to announce to the world that they are strong … because they know they’re losing ground.
This is not an “American” idea, this is all on Trump.
The real generals shot this idea down in his last term and now the man-baby wants his toys.
Trump, the guns, the generals and the public are all American. This is an American idea.
If it was an American idea we’d be doing it every year.
No one thought it would be a great idea in the past.
If it had been a popular idea Trump would have gotten it in his last term.
I’m not going to reply again, because it’s a stupid thing and I don’t feel like talking about it.
