What are your thoughts on having Tanks and other armored vehicles in the 2019 Independence Day Parade in Washington D.C. ?

Great idea. Just watch your toes.

I think it's entirely appropriate. Anyone who doesn't think so just doesn't get it and is Military-phobic!

I don't believe the tanks will actually be in the parade, but if they are........Get the DPW out to repair the damage

Go for it.

While displays of this sort are nice, and such. Blatant displays of death machines is not my idea of celebrating something that should be positive (release from oppression).

I think there are better ways to celebrate this. (and keep in mind, I love tanks. I was a tank mechanic in the army, and I wish I could have a WWII KonigsTiger as a daily driver)
If we get used to having death machines on parade, how long will it be before we turn into cold war Russia?

But that is also just my own opinion.

Aside from small issues I have with possible damage to the roads on the parade route, I don't see what the fuss is about. It seems to me that the biggest reasons for opposing the parade are: 1) Those opposed to the parade hate President Trump and will oppose anything he wants to do, and 2) Those opposed to the parade are mostly "progressive" globalist socialists who thoroughly dislike the military and want to de-fund the Dept of Defense to provide more "Welfare Empire" hand-out programs, including giving free stuff to illegal aliens. Since I disagree with both of those positions, I have no problem with a tribute to the military, including a big parade in Washington DC or the "Canyon of Heroes" in New York City.

Have it every year, I've taken my kids when they were younger to the military base to see them first hand, now I take my grandkids to do the same, having heavy artillery to include tanks at a celebration event is just great for those that don't have access to military bases and it shows what it takes to defend this country and to back out allies anytime they need our military

I submitted a plan to Mr. Trump in which we would bring a mechanized infantry battalion augmented with a company of M1A1's. We would come straight down the mall and surround the capital complex. We would march all 435 members of Congress and their staffs onto the mall. Issue them a tent and a bus ticket for California. End of Russian Investigation and beginning of happy days.

As long as they are running on rubber tracks, it is fine.
But keep the missiles in their silos --- no need to parade them

My professional opinion doesn’t matter why because we have Air shows and Navy Fleet Week to name a few. Do I need to say more. If the POUS wanted to have them, then make it happen, but don’t charge the military services for just a Dog and Pony Show. We can’t take care of our military families for God sakes. What he should have done is recognize all the military services families and start taking care of them.
