The Army's 250th birthday is kind of a big deal to them. The celebration has been in planning for several years. I look forward to watching it.

What the army had been planning until Trump returned to office was way more modest than what's happening now. Would they like the bigger event? Sure and it coincides with Trump's long burning desire for a big military parade ever since he went to Bastille Day in France and was super envious of Macron.

I personally do not love big military parades unless a war has just been won because the general vibe I get is this:

If you vote for me, you will never have to vote again!

Do any of them look afraid to lose their jobs??

The whitehouse has declared the protests in LA as a form of rebellion.

To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.

But has pardoned all involved in, the, you know. This.

I don't know what was planned as opposed to what's being done now, but overall I have no issue with a military parade. I have respect for the majority of people that join the armed forces and have no issue at all with throwing them a party.

There was no parade, complete with equipment, planned until Trump was back in office.

For more than two years, the Army has been planning national, global and even interstellar aspects of the celebration — an Army astronaut on the International Space Station will be phoning in, Mr. Warren said.
But those planned celebrations focused on festivals, a postal stamp, various fun runs, military bands and the like. At some point this year, Army officials said, a military parade in Washington appeared in the plans.

Having a party is fine. Having a 50 million dollar display that in all likelihood is going to remind me of the USSR, North Korea, or some two bit gulf dictatorship isn't IMO.

Also, to echo FDC and Welshbloke, will people please stop calling it "Marshall law"? The term is even spelled correctly in the thread title, for God's sake!


Again, I'm not making any predictions, it's impossible to know. Depends on the actions and attitudes of thousands of individuals (on 'both sides') in a multitude of interactions. But your comment here is exactly what was believed when the troops were sent into Northern Ireland. They were actually welcomed at first, by Catholics who thought they'd be their protectors. Then Bloody Sunday happened.

Maybe they’re expecting US Marshall Matt Dillon to get things under control…

Surely you can provide evidence the same parade was planned before Trump took office as the one that is planned now. Then maybe you would have a point.
So the issue is that the parade may have evolved due to Trumps influence?
That seems likely as whoever ended up being the sitting president at the time would almost certainly be invited to be a part of the celebration. It's part of that whole "commander in chief" thing.

You fellows need to grow up and get a grip. This kind of crap is petty, and your disdain is meaningless.

Uhm, surely you realize doing this is not fun for the military and is actively a huge pain in the ass for everyone involved, right?

Want to say thank you to the military give them a day off or something. Don’t give them extra work to do.

So no evidence then. You could just say that instead of trying to deflect. Be honest for once.

I can tell you that as someone who lives right outside of DC, nobody in DC (or MD and VA) want this shit to happen. The traffic/roads are already terrible down there and this is going to just make it so much worse for quite some time. No one around here wants to go see it. I can tell you for sure I won't even turn on the TV or anything when it happens. I don't even know when it is.

Another day, another roll from the Drudgereport.
Trump Admin is chomping at the bit to deploy the military and kill Americans.
Remember, the purpose of this action is to seize control of California so Trump can deport up to 1 million people in Los Angeles alone.
Those million people have family, friends, supporters. And the second amendment.

This is Trump starting a war with millions of Americans.

Trump literally fired hundreds of thousands of government workers in the name of saving money, yet we have the money for something like this? He conjured up a fake economic emergency to enact tariffs on anyone and everyone, yet we have the money for something like this?
