Trump Getting Washington Military Parade - But No Tanks
« on: March 10, 2018, 02:21:53 am »

WASHINGTON (AP) -- It looks like President Donald Trump is getting the military parade he wants in Washington — though he may get no tanks for the effort.

A Pentagon planning memo issued Thursday and released Friday says the parade being planned for Nov. 11, Veterans Day, will "include wheeled vehicles only, no tanks — consideration must be given to minimize damage to local infrastructure." Big, heavy tanks could tear up District of Columbia streets.

But the event will "include a heavy air component at the end of the parade," meaning lots of airplane flyovers. Older aircraft will be included as available.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
