Military parade angers DC officials

[struggle4progress]

... 54.5-tonne Army Abrams battle tanks have been sent to Washington by rail to be positioned on or near the National Mall for the celebration.

Critics of the parade, which will include an Air Force B-2 stealth bomber and other warplanes conducting flyovers, have accused Mr Trump of using America's military as a political prop.

Local officials are concerned infrastructure could be affected ...

Democratic congresswoman Betty McCollum said the Interior Department and the Pentagon had not answered multiple requests for details on how much the event would cost ...

1. Then why kowtow to his every whim?

Why not tell tantrum baby "NO" when he throws a fit? It's too damned late to be angry. The time to be angry was months ago!

3. Honey Boo Boo gets whatever he wants.

He just throws a tantrum and everyone gives into him. It's so fucking pathetic! Someone just needs to bitch-slap this little man-baby into shape (sorry, I know that is not a PC term, but I couldn't think of a better one off-hand). Nobody has ever said "no" to him before. It's about damn time he starts hearing the word and dealing with it.

11. Military Parade
Both Saddam and Kim loved military parade. They wanted to show their military power to the world and wanted to unite among the military personel. They used million of dollars for preparation. They probably use the public money for military parades than country's development. Military parade is their most joyful day and they forget to feed their own people.
