Trump's test for "his" military.

He is doing this for a reason. He wants to see where the military opposition might come from? And what Generals will follow him without question?

In the event that he may need the military later, for different purposes, he wants to check their loyalty with this little parade in Washington. His intentions are not good.

How far will the military follow him down the road to a dictatorship? That is what this "parade" is about. It is not about celebrating America's freedom and independence.

The tanks are in Washington on the Fourth, but they may be in your town next?

This is not a trivial matter.

mystery as the evangelicals. Assuming daddy didn't buy the x-ray and he actually had a bone spur, it's a curable condition. He could have been treated and then joined the military. Don is the ultimate chicken hawk.

Republicans are impressed with military equipment because very few of them serve. It is all very neat to them.... The parade is really republican chickenhawks watching brave Democrats serving their country.
