It's also good advertising for the Military to attract young new soldiers.
Progressives hate the Military and want to keep away young new soldiers.

How else can they eventually take over the Govt. Most Soldiers are Conservative.

It just seemed like a waste of money. If I have to be taxed, I want my tax dollars to actually help others. (And yes, I complained when Obama did stupid things with our money, like going golfing).

There are many Democrats who have served, and many Republicans who have not.

Tanks are a thing and most people will never see the up close so it's kind of cool when you get to. I don't project anything onto tanks since they are just a tool used by those who control them.

You're taxes went to help someone somewhere, mine went to the celebration. It all works out

Hillary would have had giant bottles of CHARDONNAY instead of tanks, or maybe tanks of Chardonnay. Classy.

If people don’t like the parade then I’m cool with that. Comparing it to Tirana men square though just makes any rational complaints look stupidly partisan.

It's been the right-wing trigger happy cowboy cops who are using tanks against Americans.

.

it's hard to take anybody seriously when they referred to armored vehicle/troop carrier as "tank". law enforcement do not have "tanks"

in the military, we use armored vehicle/troop carrier as a defensive vehicle and to transport troops safely from and to the battlefield. A tank, on the other hand, is an offensive vehicle use for destroying the enemy from medium to close range

Wow, another thread by a right winger that says "I really, really, REALLY hate liberals".

Do people ever get tired of this stuff?
