Trump is getting a military parade in his first term

Washington: In the first term of President Donald Trump, Pentagon opposed the will of a military parade in Washington, wanted to keep the armed forces out of politics. But in Trump’s second term, the railing has disappeared. There will be a parade this year, and on the 79th birthday of the President, no less. The current plan includes a tremendous view in the center of Washington: 28 M1A1 Abrams Tank (at 70 tonnes for the heaviest in service); 28 striker armored personnel carrier; More than 100 other vehicles; A World War II-Le-C B-25 bomber; 6,700 soldiers; 50 helicopters; 34 horses; Two mules; And a dog. But critics say that this is another example of how Trump has politicized the army. The army estimates $ 25 million to $ 45 million. But this may be more because the army has promised to fix the roads of any city that damages the parade, as well as the cost of cleaning and police is not yet part of the estimate. While $ 45 million is a small part of Trump’s proposed Pentagon budget, which is $ 1.01 trillion for $ 1.01 trillion for the financial year 2026, it comes when the administration wants to reduce funding for education, health and public support. Army spokesman Steve Warren admitted, “This is a lot of money.” “But I think the amount of money is dwarfed by 250 years of service and sacrifice by the US Army.” The army is not saying a birthday parade for Trump. This is the Army’s birthday parade. The continental army was officially formed on June 14, 1775, so on 14 June will be 250 years. This is also Trump’s birthday. There was no major parade in Washington when the army turned 200 in 1975, when the Vietnam war marks were still raw. While small monuments were organized at army bases across the country, some people wanted to glorify the army immediately after the Kent state firing, with dinner dances, barber shop quartet and cake cutting. In addition, the country was ready for the Big Bicentenial celebrations next year. If things were going to be less important this time, Fort Myer, beyond Potomac in Arlington, Virginia, could be an ideal place, “where old guards can march with some veterans,” said Sen. Jack Reid of Road Island, Democrat, head of the Armed Seva Samiti, in the context of the third Infantry Regiment, the oldest active duty infantry unit of the army. “But it’s Trump,” Reid said, talking to reporters in the Defense Writers Group last week. “It is a lot that he is doing.” Army officials say that the parade will cross a large bash at the National Mall, near the White House on the evening of June 14, in front of Trump’s viewing stand to see Trump. Officials say there will be marching soldiers, which will be kept in two government buildings. They will sleep on military cot and bring their own sleeping bags, the subject of too much enthusiasm on late night television. There will shake the head for Paladin, Vishal Self-Operated Howitzer, and vintage style. Army officials want to prepare some soldiers in uniform in 1812 or like the Spanish-American war, such as wars. Warren stated that for more than two years, the army has planned the inter -global and even internalization aspects of internalization – an army astronaut will be called at the international space station. But those planned ceremonies focused on festivals, a postage stamp, various fun runs, military bands and thus. At some point this year, army officials said, a military parade in Washington appeared in plans. Nevertheless, officials say that Trump, or the army has no plans to sing “Happy Birthday” during the parade. However, a plan, the army parachute calls from the Golden Nights of the team to Paratropes, which to land between the celebration and hand over a flag to Trump. During his first term in 2017, Trump saw a Bastil Day Parade in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron and returned home and wanted himself. But Trump 1.0 Pentagon closed them. At that time Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said that he would “swallow acid, according to” Line Holding the Line “, a book by a former speech writer of Gai Snowdagrass, Mattis. “We are all aware in this country of the President’s affection and respect for the army,” Mattis said that when reporters asked about Trump’s wishes. “We are keeping some options together. We will send them to the White House for a decision.” General Paul J. Selva, Vice President of the then Joint Chief of Staff, told Trump during a meeting in Pentagon that according to the military parade “The Dinner”, “The Divider”, Peter Baker, a New York Times reporter and Susan were “what they do,”. When Mattis went away, Trump again brought the idea. Officials of the Pentagon said that the successor of Mattis, Mark T. Asper responded with “air parade” as a ceremony of July 4 in 2020. An array of fighter jets and other warfare aircraft flew on the eastern coast in cities playing the US revolution, including Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Trump’s first Defense Department officials opposed his parade suggestion – it was never a direct order – because he saw it as putting the army in the middle of politics, some pantagon is hate to do some Pentagon historically. But now Trump has Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and military leader, who are more inclined to put their appearance in action. It “raises the question, ‘Has the US Army celebrated Trump?” “The tank rolling on the streets of the capital seems to be a professional, highly capable military tradition,” Brooks said in an interview. “It looks like an army that is politicized and turns inward, focusing on domestic oriented opponents rather than outsiders.” The past has a large American military parade, but the last one was about 35 years ago to celebrate the end of the first Gulf War. The military parade in the United States has traditionally followed the end of major conflicts, such as Civil War and two World War. There were also military parades during the inauguration of three presidential presidents during the Cold War. And small town celebrations also sometimes remember the army with some armored vehicles and soldiers. Corey Shek, a former defense officer in George W Bush administration, said, “I do not really see a problem with a military parade,” a former defense officer in the George W Bush administration, who directed the foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprises Institute. Shake said that more Americans need to see soldiers who serve the country. “If seeing our fellow Americans in uniforms encourages public knowledge and connection, or voluntarily inspires it, it would be beneficial,” he said. “At the end of the day, the army will not die on this hill, even if they have not liked it for decades,” said Professor of Duke University, a political science professor Peter Favor.
