Army plans for a potential parade on Fatass McTraitor's birthday call for 6,600 soldiers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump's birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned.

The planning documents, obtained by the AP, are dated April 29 and 30 and have not been publicly released. They represent the Army's most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed.

What a shameful, small peckered man this one is. They should be repeating the horrible stuff he has said about people in the military. Why are we celebrating his birth???

The Army's 250th birthday. That is what is really being celebrated; he is just upstaging it as only he can.

I would say some brave soul should DO a Tiananman Square face-off with one of the tanks, but that would only give Rump an excuse—like he needs one—to declare martial law, or worse, to massacre us protesters.

it was rly smart for us to stay away on j6. i think we shd stay away, and protest everywhere else.
i dont want to give in to the fear that they wd fire on protesters, but….

but i think the thing is for NO ONE to come. a crowd is a crowd, and they’ll lie about who was there and y. let him look out on an empty mall. and let there be so many protests across the country that the media cant help but cover it.

Beside it being the 250th Birthday of the Army, it's also Flag Day. I look at DJT's participation in any of the celebration as a desecration of our Military and Old Glory. He's made it perfectly clear what he thinks of our soldiers and Veterans and even POWs. If he had two cells in his brain, he wouldn't want to be anywhere near this gigantic festive Military celebration. But he doesn't. So he will be there somewhere trying to steal the thunder of 250 yrs of blood, sweat and tears, pretending that everyone is cheering for him. What'd they say, it was going to stretch all way down to Alexandria, Virginia, 7 miles or so? The crowd will cheer alright until he comes rolling along, and then the cheers will turn to boo's or dead silence with fists in the air.
