Military Equipment of the Past

The event will feature an array of historical equipment, vehicles and aircraft owned by private collectors, including Sherman tanks from World War II and UH-1 Huey helicopters from the Vietnam War. Vintage aircraft will fly overhead.

Military Equipment Still in Use

For more recent conflicts, the Army will be using its own uniforms, vehicles and aircraft. The service is bringing dozens of armored vehicles — like Abrams tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Strykers — and helicopters from bases around the country, from both its conventional and special operations components.

Representing the future Army, cadets from the United States Military Academy, the Virginia Military Institute, the Citadel and Texas A&M will march along with a number of civilians whom Mr. Trump will swear into the Army and current soldiers who will re-enlist after the parade.

Fuck this bullshit.

I'm going to the "No Kings" protest instead.

Yes I would probably go to a No Kings protest as an adult, which is what I am. Merely making an observation that one aspect of this shit show is interesting. I used to go to old aircraft shows as a kid with my dad and uncles and cousins, and enjoyed them. One of my uncles was in the Navy and took me to the ships and subs in New London.

We know OP.

Weather Channel predicts 70+% chance of thunderstorms during the procession (as of 0900 EST).

What says Nate Silver, R5?

The Army side of it is somewhat interesting. The fact that it is combined with Trump’s birthday celebration is revolting. I’m hoping to avoid any coverage of it by going furniture shopping and out to dinner.

Thout MAGATS were against "woke" policies.

Well I watched it out of morbid curiosity. It was "something".

I got a VA email this week “inviting” me to celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army. Very odd. It didn’t look like the usual ones I get. I thought maybe one of Trumps minions usurped their email to send it. No mention of Dump.

Did Nate say where one can get best tacos in DC?
