Thread 63832811

I just want to watch cool tanks and military hardware on display during the parade :/

ok

>>63832811 (OP)
>tank driving down the street at 10 mph
>100 times in a row
haha wow

>>63832811 (OP)
That's literally the point of a military parade, anon.

>>63832855
>>63832814
yeah, but I know its gonna be interrupted by political bullshit probably...

>>63832811 (OP)
Why are they painted green instead of brown like they used to be?

>>63832866
It IS political bullshit, ya dummy
>it's totally for the Army's birthday guys! ;)

I will eat my own ass if he does the same for the Navy and Air Force.

>>63832922
Fuck I'm game for every branch getting an annual parade day to celebrate their founding. Would give the coasties the opportunity to show off their sick paint scheme

>>63832962
Sorry, I'd rather watch them in action. If I wanted to see Abrams and Bradleys doing nothing I'd go to a museum.

Military parades are for third worlders and despots.

>>63832972
Yeah but that won't happen and you know it. Just accept that America is a banana republic now. Or an orange republic maybe? Since America doesn't produce bananas.

>>63832811 (OP)
Any more variety than Ambrams and Bradleys?

>>63832974
>Sorry, I'd rather watch them in action. If I wanted to see Abrams and Bradleys doing nothing I'd go to a museum.
In a museum they don't move, and in action our fat asses will not nearly be close enough to see them from up close.
>But muh Videos
Yeah these are cool but seeing, smelling, hearing one like 10 feet infront of you is something you don't get in a museum or a video for that matter

>>63833008
>In a museum they don't move
We've come full circle. >>63832820

>>63832811 (OP)
Buy a TV then.

>>63833013
You're a faggot if you seriously think that seeing a tank drive infront of you is no more impressive than seeing a demilled tank rotting away in some corner.

>>63832922
>make it as far away from historical Army places as possible
Should we pack up and drive through Paris instead?

>>63833031
You're easily impressed, hence the jingling keys.
Military parades are gay and lame. I don't make the rules.

>>63833036
No, the US shouldn't be doing a parade because dear leader wants one because he saw one in France. Which is the whole reason it's happening. He saw that parade in France and wanted one ever since.

>>63833036
>Should we pack up and drive through Paris instead?
Im not gonna stop you

>>63833049
>You're easily impressed
No, I'm just obsessed with military vehicles and take any chanche I can get to see them in any way. Try enjoying simple things sometime, might do you some good

>>63832991
I'm going to teleport to your location and turn your penis into a penwas if you dare speak to me like that again

I'm glad that closing all those government departments and firing all this employees saved enough money to pay for driving tanks around Washington for a day.

>>63833086
A multi million dollar parade with hundreds of vehicles and thousands of personnel is hardly a simple thing. If you want get up close and personal so bad, learn to turn a wrench and join the army so you can work on the things.

>>63833190
>A multi million dollar parade with hundreds of vehicles and thousands of personnel is hardly a simple thin
The way you described it earlier >>63832820 made it sound damn simple. For me as the guy looking at it, it is very simple.
>>63833178
>If you want get up close and personal so bad, learn to turn a wrench and join the army so you can work on the things.
too old
Let's just agree to disagree, I don't want to waste more time on this pointless discussion

>>63833086
The parade is the wrong thing for you then. They already do community military days that are a lot more interesting and interactive, and less expensive than this nonsense. They had a USMC helicopter fly-jn at a school near me a while back. You could touch them and climb through them, and play with guns and grenade launchers they brought. Also had a historic group with antique engines and vintage H34 that flew in with its big radial.

>>63833214
It's an astronomical investment of time, money, and materiel that ultimately amounts to some tanks trundling down the street in an impotent display of fuck all.

>>63833227
Why not have both? Doesn't hurt to attend the parade when you're close by anyways

>>63833238
>It's an astronomical investment of time, money, and materiel
Who cares? The dollar is monopoly money anyway. Might as well do something cool. Why is modern /k/ a bunch of faggots?

>>63833248
I bet you whine about goverment waste like a woman.

>>63833248
The /k/ I know has been mocking military parades as pointless theater for years. Suddenly when the orange man throws one its the coolest most heckin basedest thing ever?

>>63832922
Bit hard to parade an aircraft carrier down the street in Washington

>>63833248
Because orange man does it and that makes us third world or some shit. I dunno man, I'm just happy to see military hardware doing something rather than sitting in a museum
>>63833190

You should move away from The Land of the Free to some dictatorial shithole, then.

>>63833262
>The /k/ I know has been mocking military parades

the thing is that the countries who DO military parades usually have hilariously silly 'LOOK HOW TUFF WE R' shit like the spinning binoculars guy or the giant buff nigga standing over the exercising VDV on the float.

a US military parade is just gonna be tanks, jeeps and boring stuff with no flamboyancy.

>>63833319
>just gonna be tanks, jeeps and boring stuff with no flamboyancy
So like Russia

>oh a blub blub we cant spend money on a once in a generation parade that was planned under Biden to celebrate the Army's 250th
Shut the fuck up.

>>63833657
Did you and the other boomer libs carpool to the No Kings rally? Hoping to recreate that dopamine hit you got spitting on grunts coming back from Vietnam in 1968?

>>63832922
>It IS political bullshit, ya dummy
Because you're obsessed with Trump so everything has to be about him.

>>63832922
Well the Germans would get a bit upset if we showed up unannounced, and I think it would interfere with the trooping of the colors.

so how was the parade?

>>63835246
America doesn't do parades and it showed.

>>63835208
>to celebrate the Army's 250th

that was 9 years ago

>>63835258
It was today.
>The U.S. Army's 250th birthday is on June 14, 2025. This date marks the 250th anniversary of the Continental Congress's decision to establish the Continental Army, which later became the U.S. Army

Anyone seething about the US Army celebrating 250 years probably seethes about UP restoring and keeping 4014 rolling to celebrate their history. I don't know what it costs to keep a 5,000 ton steam engine that requires entirely bespoke parts and specially trained crews to ride around on it all over the western and Central US but I'm guessing it's expensive as hell. All for the chance to flex.

>>63835286
are union pacific spending taxpayer money to do that though

>>63835286
>train autist thinks anyone cares about his train

also people are "seething" about this parade because its stupid. this is the second time trump has asked for a military parade and everyone can see its because he thinks its what makes him look 'strong'

>>63832866
/k/ has always mocked military parades this is nothing to do with the maga cult or it's dear leader. Real militaries don't waste time and resources on training for this crap

>>63835290
Your shit is transparent anon. El Trumpo did a thing so you're opposed and you'll find any reason to be opposed to it.

The sad part is, the truly sad part, is this isnt even a case of El Trumpo doing a thing. All this shit was planned ages ago. It only became a thing when people who are slaves to the 25-hour news cycle (you) realized today is also oranges birthday so now, instead of a nice day where Americans get to see the trillion-dollar military they built, and the troops get to enjoy being cheered by crowds, it has to be a whole unpleasant thing.

>>63835296
I just found it funny that he had to stand behind bulletproof glass the whole time.

>>63833036
Yes but we’re not stopping halfway through Germany again.

>>63835296
Okay, so the problem is that you're lying. Trump didnt ask for this parade. Biden did. Its the Army's birthday.

>>63835301


and you are very new here
>>63835300

>>63835304
So did every other president since clinton.

>>63835309
Been here on and off since 2012. Do not presume to speak to /k/.

>>63835301
>it has to be a whole unpleasant thing.

its unpleasant because trump spent the first month of his second term pretending to declare war on several allied countries and now we are ONCE AGAIN doing Israel's bidding by bombing iran and stirring shit up. no shit no one wants to watch a military parade, its obvious trump wants a war to get people focused on a nebulous enemy on the other side of the world.

>/pol/ said a falseflag attack was going to happen
Did they... lie to me?

>>63835316
Its unpleasant because you're obsessed with Trump (as your post shows) so everything has to be about him. We cant even the celebrate the Army's birthday without you sperging the fuck out.

>>63835304
Yes. We have a left-wing terrorist problem. We have for a hundred years.

Who fucking cares. We haven't had a parade in ages. We put half our budget into our military and give servicemembers a huge amount of social capital - to the point where we allow them to board aircraft alongside the elderly and pregnant women - but ohh nooo we cant have parades too militaristic wawawa Trump.

Get real.
