Trump Wants Pentagon To Stage Military Parade Down Pennsylvania Avenue
President Trump, apparently inspired by the Bastille Day parade he witnessed last summer during a trip to Paris, has ordered the Pentagon to look into staging something similar — but naturally bigger and better — for Washington, D.C., the White House confirmed Tuesday.
A U.S. official has confirmed to NPR the request. On Tuesday evening, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders shared in a statement that "President Trump is incredibly supportive of America's great service members who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe." She added,"He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation."
U.S. presidents have long shied away from such displays of military prowess — which typically include tanks, missiles and in some cases, goose-stepping soldiers — for fear of being compared to Washington's Cold War adversaries, where such displays have traditionally been potent symbols of state power. Those countries include Russia (and, formerly, the Soviet Union), China and North Korea.

It will be the largest parade crowd ever!
Trump is counting on the protests. He will spin it as a protest against the military.

The Photographs of Trump uncontrollably making Nazi Salutes as OUR Army marches by him, will be etched in America's history forever.
Bring it.

Do this on a very minor level
Do this on a very minor level for Veteran's Day, 100th anniversary of WW1 armistace. Bring out vintage weapons from the last 100 years. Bring out a cold war era missile and he'll never know the difference.

I can see that. Don't some places already have parades on Veterans Day or Memorial Day? Military parades aren't entirely unheard of in this country. I think the last big one was after the end of Gulf War. Real trick is to keep it from being about Trump.
