hey, i'd be all for Sherman tanks to be dragged out of some WWII museum, refurbished and put in a parade. it'd be even better if this could happen in certain areas of the South, too.There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

I am sure someone thinks that refurbishing Sherman tanks for some photo opportunity is a good use of military funds but they must be insane when you are close to $1trillion deficit per year due to making the wealthy the wealthier in tax cuts.

Trump's 4th Of July Parade
Originally posted by snapper View PostThere are real racists - people who truly believe white or 'Aryan' (though accurately they are Indian) people are in some way 'superior' - and those who use racism to garner attention and support. I am not convinced that Trumpkin is the former.
He's certainly think's HE is better than everybody else, but that's just his malignant narcissism in action. At the very least, he's incredibly prejudiced.
Originally posted by snapper View PostNow I hear there will be a "new Sherman tank" at some 4th July military parade? I know this guy is a dimwit but military parades when you are not at war should not happen. If he can command the military without oversight from Congress onto the streets - what hope is there of voting him out? Remember he questioned the result before the last election. The Republic Party in the US and that half senile leader of theirs in the Senate have betrayed their oaths to your Constitution and are accomplices to treachery, embezzlement and conspiracy.
The media asked the Pentagon what the fuck that's supposed to mean and the Pentagon did the only thing they could do, which was say absolutely nothing.
Naturally the Trump Kool-Aid drinkers are making the usual excuses about him meaning something else....as if saying "new Sherman tanks" could possibly be anything but yet another sign of Trump's cognitive abilities slipping away.
He also wants the JCS to stand by him at the parade like he's Joseph Stalin or something...and he's got a special seating area for friends and supporters that he's selling tickets to.
And people continue to drink the Kool-Aid. Unbelievable.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

I’m sure the Blue’s should be able to put on a grand show. How often does a demo team get the chance to perform over the D.C?

You mention ol' Joe with him up on his platform staring down at the parade of military hardware during May Day. Not a symbol of freedom. Then there were the tanks in Tiananmen Square which were clearly a symbol of oppression in forcefully putting down a peaceful protest. This is not good...

Originally posted by tbm3fan View PostI really don't like the image that will be presented tomorrow. Tanks, today, are more a symbol of oppression rather than freedom to many around the world. Seeing tanks, around National buildings in the Capital of the United States, is also not a symbol of freedom but an image of things from past days and other places.

Originally posted by Firestorm View PostIt may not stand for freedom, but considering the number of countries bombed and/or invaded by the US in the last several decades (with more to come soon seems like), it would be a more accurate depiction of what the US stands for. I applaud President Trump for not pretending otherwise anymore.

Uproar of a static display is all about silly. A static display of hardware that helps preserve liberty is hardly offensive. It is hardware after all is one of the reasons for the uprising against the crown that led to Independence Day in the first place. After the fireworks display the smell of burnt powder will be heavy in the air. The smell of victory/independence.
