Trump’s Birthday Parade: 6,600 Troops, Millions in Costs, and Dictator-Style Concerns
The U.S. Army has drafted detailed plans for a potential military parade on June 14th, coinciding with President Trump’s birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary. The proposed event, costing tens of millions of dollars, would involve over 6,600 soldiers, 150+ vehicles, 50 helicopters, and seven bands, along with potential civilian participants. While the Army is enthusiastic about the parade as part of a larger festival, final approval from the White House is pending, and concerns remain regarding cost and potential road damage from heavy military vehicles. The plans are still subject to change.
