I applaud President Trump! He is standing firm for the majority of the United States! We the People...You Know the Rest! They are going to be upset because they have to pay their taxes because they don't like him!! Thank you!!

Why not. They had nuclear capable missiles doing a Pass and Review for Kennedy's inauguration. Stuff like this was common place up until the Vietnam War.

I suspect that whether one thinks having tanks and other military armor in Washington D.C. is a great idea or not depends on whether one believes this to be an Independence Day parade or a Donald Trump Parade. As an old Vietnam vet with the 11th Armored Cav and the 5th Mechanized Division, I’m all for it. Back in the day all we had were the old M48 Pattons and M113 ACAVs so I’d love to see up close the advanced armor we employ today.

President Trump is so proud of our military. He's all about our military being the best in the world, and I don't think it's his ego. He genuinely loves our military.

The civilian population needs to see their military hardware. We see airplanes and ships often, but need to see the tanks, trucks, and other big weapons which the average military person has at their hands to wage war. I sure wish that we Marines had the M1 tank during Nam. I can't believe the cowardice of people who criticize using tanks, etc. in a military parade. There will be a RUDE awakening in the next election!!!

People should enjoy the hardware in the parade and let D.C. make any repairs. Congress wastes a lot of money for some really lame applications. Showing our hardware and inspiring strength in the people including the kids is priceless.

About time let's show off our toys. I don't think enough people in the states know what we have.

I agree, much more $ is wasted over lawsuits against the President and all on the inside who support him.

There is no issue with this whatsoever. Those complaining about cost are hiding behind a transparent veil. The bottom line for most opposing this is Trump is doing it. Trump will be president either 4 or 8 years. We have celebrated our independence for 243 years. This is not a "Trump Parade" as those of the left want to call it to attack it. It is an Independence Day celebration, Trump happens to be president and has made the celebration a little larger.
We have military displays all of the time. It is very common for Army and Marine artillery units to fire their pieces during the William Tell Overturn every year. We have Airshows and static displays all of the time. This is another non issue being worked into a froth by those that oppose ANYTHING Trump does.

If it is not a Trump celebration, why are limited tickets given to GOP donors as part of attendance and admission?

LTC Eugene Chu - Anyone can attend the event Eugene, anyone. The Presidents VIP section is not the entire event. The article you chose from the Huffpo is typical of those on the left with the scandalous headline of Trump hijacking the 4th of July. You really need quit getting whipped into a froth over every little thing he does. If this is too much to bear, perhaps resigning the commission is your next step in protest of a July 4th event.
