Whatever Biden planned would have been smaller and focused on the actual vets. Not a joke parade sponsored by Crypto.

... and I don't think anyone would disapprove of the Army celebrating its own birthday. That plan included a day-long festival that included such stuff as soldiers in period costumes, paratroopers landing on the Mall, and honoring vets and medal recipients -- but not tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Ave and 6500 soldiers walking 2.5 miles to be "reviewed" by a draft dodger who thinks soldiers are suckers and losers.

What I saw were nearly empty stands as tanks rolled by. You could barely hear them rumble down the street over the loudspeaker broadcasting a sanitized history lesson. Otherwise, it was silent---no cheering, no talking in the background, no sound of kids oohing and aahibng at the big noisy machines, nothing. King Prat was bouncing from one foot to the other and flapping his arms while looking intensely bored. I think heprobably wanted to forget the whole thing and go eat a hamburger and watch some Pox News.
