The U.S. Army is planning a historic parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., on June 14 that will coincide with and be part of the Army’s long-planned 250th celebration.

The parade will involve some 6,600 soldiers, tanks and infantry vehicles, helicopter flyovers and parachute jumps, according to several people familiar with the planning effort, and will also occur on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

The timing and White House involvement in planning efforts have stoked speculation that Trump is using the Army’s birthday as an excuse to get the kind of grand military parade he wanted during his first term in office. That event was scrapped after estimates topped $90 million.

    All of the sudden I’m realizing that in seeing Abraham tanks for over 25 years I’ve never seen a green one, only sand yellow.

    Kinda makes you think about the only place the US likes to invade all the time

      Well its that and also a shit tonne of the storage facilities for the Abrams in particular are in California. Everything here is brown during certain times of the year, fuck even my pale ass has to be under at least a later of brown leather not to burn to shit.
