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.

'Communism is when military parade' is an impressively unique stupid take. I guess socialism is when you have a unit in formation and when they start walking it becomes communism

One could lock down the capitol and declare martial law with a troop concentration like that.

Yes, why not waste some more taxpayer funds to polish the knob of Dear Leader like a bunch of servile supplicants? This, this right here is why I refused to serve. Not because I didn't want to defend my country (not the US), but because I didn't trust the political masters of the armed forced to use me appropriately.

And just like that morale is going to evaporate. I can't wait to see how stupid he looks.

It's comforting to know most of the uniformed participants will probably dislike the experience and think it's a cringe waste of their time.
