Why does it cost anything at all anyway? Don’t we already own the tanks and humvees? Aren’t we already paying the soldiers salaries? Are we renting a military to parade around the city? This is equipment and personnel that are already being paid for, instead of rolling them around on base, make a right turn and head down the city streets.
And to everyone referencing the nazi similarity, is it similar when we have air shows and fly f16’s for everyone to see the awesomeness of? I think it’s our tax money being spent on these machines, there’s no logical reason we shouldn’t be able to see them. Unless, of course, you truly wear a tinfoil hat and think this is the prelude to fema camps.
They are snappy marchers...We could hire the Chinese army for our parading needs. Top notch for a fraction of the cost ...delivered.
