The Army will place large metal plating at key points on Washington's streets. That's to better protect them from the thunderous movements of 25 M1 Abrams main battle tanks set to roll through the capital in a military parade on June 14.
Has the US military got any experience with synchronised performance marching? I have a feeling it’s gonna be amateur dogshit compared to China’s parades.
You do it in boot camp and then never again, unless you’re in the band or the drill team I guess. These guys are probably gonna be practicing for a few weeks before the real thing, though that doesn’t mean it will look great because I’m sure there are a bunch of problems that they’ll run into on the day of that they haven’t thought of yet.
A few weeks absolutely isn’t enough to match the Chinese performance they put on at Victory Day. Gonna make some comparisons afterwards lol it’s gonna look shambolic side by side.
Hegseth is come out afterwards to say ‘marching is like dancing and we don’t do dancing anymore because it’s woke and we aren’t woke we’re warfighters glug glug glug’
Sorry I don’t quite understand, can’t imagine what? That the soldiers in the parade want to do it? Yeah then you’d probably be right, that makes it even worse because they’re not gonna be invested in making their performance good either.
That alone says a lot about the modern state of america tbh. That the troops themselves would half-ass everything because they just don’t care and don’t want to be doing it.
A military that is actually proud of itself? Yes absolutely its soldiers should be proud of parading.
The issue here isn’t the act of parading. The issue here is that the US and its vassal states under nato are an evil empire that do nothing but evil everywhere they go. There is nothing to be proud of, and they certainly do not exist for the people.
When a military that genuinely exists for the benefit of its people parades, its soldiers are proud of doing so, and its people love seeing them do so. When a military that exists for the benefit of its ruling class parades, the parade takes on a different character, it does not look like a display of pride to its people, it looks like an intimidating threat to them instead.
Herein lies the difference between China putting on a parade, or the soviet union in its time, and how that differs to the US. One is a display of actual defenders of the people while the other is a display of enforcers of the bourgeoisie. These have a clearly different character.
So to answer your question “you think the military should happily perform?” No, not the american military. Every single one of its members should throw themselves off a cliff for the monstrosity they’re taking part in, or dedicate the rest of their lives to making up for it. They don’t want to parade because they know there is nothing to be proud of deep down.

Why did I read the comments on that? So many smug Americans bragging about their mob of child murderers.

Left shark / right shark
Isn’t DC a swamp? Whats the temp and humidity expected to be out there during the parade?
Better start taking bets on how many soldiers fall out to heat.
Would be just
if some of those tanks broke down during the parade though.
Lol I can’t imagine they want to do this…

nah fuck parades all my marching band survivors hate parades
… Tf?
You think the military should happily “perform”? They take their jobs very seriously, it’s not for entertainment value.
You’re right, the US military would be much happier killing brown kids on the other side of the world, but we can’t all always get what we want.
