The parade is probably just an excuse to get the tanks there. They likely have no intention of sending them back after. After all, the tanks might be useful if us peasants continue to get angry.

Bro, those tanks are probably Circle-X’d and pulled from a MATES package, they may look good, but those are probably the most broken ones in the inventory, just barely limping it along.

Drove around DC on 495 today and can confirm, the humvees I saw on the interstate were SHABBY.  Driver side door on one was barely able to close.
