Well, Its On, Officially

Because you keep making the ridiculous claim that quoting part of your post is publishing an edited version of your post, rather then simply quoting from itm

Did the reply button render a complete version of my post? Why yes it did. Did you then remove portions of that complete version? Why yes you did. Did you then publish (post) that edited version within your post? Yes, you did that as well.

What part of the above am I in error about?

I posted quotes.

It shows that I quoted parts of your post but not the whole thing.

I can keep correcting you all day.

You're not correcting anyone unless there was a member that still believed you had some credibility. Your continued lies and refusal to accept common meanings of English words has corrected anyone still possessing that belief.

You posted an edited version of my post. It's as simple as that.

thats how it works.

Thst is why its called the quote feature.

You posted an edited version of my post. There's really no question of that.

At this point, you're engaging in the equivalent of insisting that shotguns and cell phones aren't portable. You're only making yourself an object of fun.

Nope.

Do you know who really hates parades?
The soldiers that have to march in them.

I stood in precisely ONE formation that I was glad to attend - a Medal of Honor recipient had flown out to talk to us. Every other one I wanted over as quickly as possible.

Yes two typos. I'm on a phone.

Kind of proves my point. I cannot edit my own post to fix the typos because it's been longer than 20 minutes. But you think I can edit your post....lol.

You keep confusing quoting part of your post in my post, with editing your post.

I can correct you for as long as it takes. But at some point I would think embarrassment would take over and you stop.

The fewer the parades and ceremonies by regular forces the better cause you guys stink so badly at 'em. It's really cringeworthy stuff when regular forces try to march onto the field which is just not hitting the beaches of Normanedy on D-Day in WW II izzit. Passing in review by you regular forces guys should be done on the run just to get you guys off the field asap finally and for good.

The joint services ceremonial / honor guard units in Washington DC have different parades and ceremonies for different reasons and purposes and they are done in radically different ways and with a completely different attitude and value. The Washington DC ceremonial units of the 6 services practice if we have time and just to tune up -- no big radical changes are made and we don't have to practice and rehearse and practice more for a long period of a miserable adjustment to marching and standing and that everyone involved knows is virtually meaningless due to its infrequency.

The Washington guards have the Potus/C'nC in front of 'em looking right at us and who hosts the president of France or the PM of UK or of Japan or the president of SK or the chancellor of Germany and so on. And as I've pointed out and show in the video of the 82nd Airborne Infantry Division pass in review parade, the elite units of the armed forces do march well with only a minimum effort because these elite troops, the NCO leaders and officer commanders do things military well no matter what the military thing is. To include parades and ceremonies.
 
The Army has nailed down its arrangements for its 250th anniversary celebration at the National Mall in Washington DC on June 14th. The Army's heavy combat vehicles are on the rails from the Sierra Army Depot in California moving cross country for Washington DC. Groups of the public have been gathering en route to observe the convoys moving through their states.

Here's what's coming...

28 M1A1 Abrams tanks, each roughly 70-ton tracked vehicle equipped with a 120mm cannon
28 Bradley Fighting vehicles, lighter tracked armor with 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain guns
28 Stryker fast attack infantry vehicles will also be included, flexible 20-ton eight-wheeled vehicles with mixed armaments.

4 Paladins, tracked self-propelled 155mm howitzers each weighing over 27 tons. The Paladin is a 155mm turreted self-propelled howitzer used by the US Army. Its 38-ton weight and tank treads could damage roads.
There will also be "several" pieces of towed artillery including M777s and M119s.

The Army says at least 200,000 people are expected to attend the upcoming June 14th anniversary celebration. The 4 hour parade will start at the Lincoln Memorial at 4 pm and will proceed along Constitution Avenue and continue to the National Mall, a shorter route than previously expected.



Fifty aircraft are expected to participate, including helicopters like the multi-mission Black Hawks, heavy-lift Chinooks, and attack Apaches. Army officials told reporters they are working closely with the FAA and DC's Reagan National Airport for parade flyover deconfliction.

All weapons systems will be disabled and inspected by the Secret Service prior to the event. No ammunition, be it blank or live rounds, will be distributed to soldiers. Ha, what the SS knows about tank and howitzer firing systems among other vehicles such as the Bradleys remains dubious.

Roughly 6,700 soldiers — including active duty, reserve, National Guard, Reserve Officer Training Corps and special operations forces — are expected to participate.



World War II-era equipment including M4 Sherman tanks, B25 bombers, P51 Mustang fighter planes, and C47 Skytrains, will also be featured.

Army equine units from across the country are also expected, including Arlington National Cemetery's Caisson Detachment.


The Army's prestigious Golden Knights parachute team will end the celebration with a jump and will present a folded flag to the president.

The Army is adding rubber padding to vehicle treads and 1 inch steel plates where tracked vehicles will make turns. Heavy tracked vehicles like the M1A1 often make turns by using differential steering — one side will roll forward while the other reverses, or the tracks will operate at a different speed. That can cause tracks to "pinch," the road surface.

There will be no practices or rehearsal for this parade which should come off well regardless. The Army and US Park Police will be "meticulous" about public safety around the heavy vehicles during offloading, their ready placement and movement in the parade and for their display positioning on the Washington Monument grounds.
 
The US Navy turns 250 come OCT2025 and the USMC does the same in NOV. Is there planning afoot for their parades?

For the Navy, we just need to reopen Olongapo and the sailors will be happy. For the Marines, any tavern will do.

Alas the Navy and the Marine Corps will throw a huge bash in Philadelphia with additional events in Camden NJ in October and November. This will be October 9th through November 10th. The Washington DC tourist season will be overwith by October although the fall season is a good time for outdoor activities in the Nation's capital city.

The Navy and Marine Corps prefer to celebrate their founding in the Founding City of the USA in Philly -- with complementary activities in Camden in NJ. We're looking at Fleet Week, the blessing of the fleet, Navy and USMC drill teams and bands from Washington and much more. Here's a quick look with a link to the whole of this grand celebratory time.


On Oct. 9th there will be a Parade of Ships and Opening Ceremonies up the Delaware River to Philly and Camden that will include the sail by Blessing of The Fleet. Once berthed the ships that include Marines transports will be open for tours to include Coast Guard vessels.

October 9-16 there will be performances at the National Historic Park to include the USN Band from Washington DC and the USMC Band also from Washington and the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon from Marine Barracks Washington DC and the USN Drill Team from the NAS Anacostia in DC.

The Army-Navy Soccer Cup showdown will be at Subaru Park on October 10th. Each of the 6 services have full time professional sports teams so this is who will do what. Navy Midshipmen and Temple U will continue their long football rivalry on the next day, Oct. 11th.

On Oct. 11th the Gala celebrating 250 years of the USN will be held at the National Constitution Center. The Marines meanwhile will "recreate" their founding at Tut's Tavern -- USMC will also have its Gala at the National Constitution Center.

There's a veterans picnic and a church service; a "Victory At Sea" concert and aerial light show at Independence Hall with the bands of USN and the MC with "other headliners." There's a "Salute to Youth Parade" that includes Naval Academy midshipmen and MCROTC, NROTC, and JROTC students from throughout the country and Pentagon schools abroad. And of course a Navy Blue Angels Flyover.


I'm tempted to check this stuff out on 6/14 and in the fall. This happy stuff is right up my alley and I haven't been anywhere near it in the flesh in several decades.

Their celebration should be in the same venue!

The Royal Navy traces its heritage back to Alfred the Great:

"The English Royal Navy was formally founded in 1546 by Henry VIII, though the Kingdom of England had possessed less-organised naval forces for centuries prior to this"

 
With all the madness Trump is causing in LA he's going to be in his Full Generalissimo up there on the review platform. The Army is going to look like his footmen.
 

Right in the middle of peak DC tourism season!

The U.S. military is being celebrated by a “man” who cheated on his service to it.

Hypocrisy much.

Yeah, my impression is it's called the Royal Navy for it's ties to the Monarchy where the British Army is considered a creature of Parliament.
That's over-simplified, no doubt, but history is a long, complicated subject in Britain.

I heard that the doctor who diagnosed the 'bone spurs' was a tenant in one of Fred Trump's buildings. According to the doctors in what I read.

What a ****ing joke watching President Bone Spurs salute a military procession (that will cost millions) on his birthday so he can feel bigly like his hero Vlad.

Tanks parading through DC....

6000 troops........all saluting dear leader.

So f'ing unamerican.

Kim Jong Trump strikes again.

Needs to be a huge peace march nearby or near date same place.

Needs to be lots of people with peace signs in the crowd.

Soap bubbles, flowers.

And none of the ****ed up faux conservatives who voted for him have the courage to scream about the cost of his kabuki theater to the taxpayers. He can cut half the federal workforce if he needs that money to fly Air Force One back and forth to Mar-A-Lardo every single weekend of his presidency. He's just been in office 100 days, and he's already made 10 trips to play golf.

Trump has already been a ****ing disaster in more ways than America can count, and he just got in.

🤬


All it takes is one of you to step up.... lead by example.

Trump is celebrating HimSelf.

The parade part of the Army's 250th birthday is all Trump's doing. The Army's original idea was a static display of some heavy and rapidly mobile combat vehicles on the relatively vast expanse of the Washington Monument grounds.

The parade is the compulsion of the Generalissimo Trump for the Generalissimo Trump and only. Trump could care less about the 250th birthday of the US Army. All Trump sees of the Army (and Marines) is their shooting protesters which neither has done and that neither would or will do.

Great photo thx.

Civilian safety security will be keen for the parade of heavy combat vehicles and their movements to and from their stations before and after the parade. Vehicles in motion and being placed for their static display, and in motion to and from the parade to include their parade ready location are directed by military external managers of movement. Civilian onlookers will be tightly managed and kept well clear of the vehicles in motion.

Now however, and Trump just spoke menacingly to this, parade integrity security has gained a new importance because of the National Guard -- and Marines -- OTT deployment in LA by The Generalissimo. A USA "tankman" or group of protesting demonstrators who enter a roadway of the vehicles on parade is a present and real concern of the Army, DC and US Park Police alike.

The Generalissimo HimSelf was just now on tv spewing off that any parade protesters on the scene will be met with "heavy force" against them. Trump now is shatting his pants about his personal parade possibly getting disrupted, paused, stopped or even dissolved by protesters interrupting it while underway.

There's a big protest against the dictator's parade but it's in Philadelphia which is about a two hour drive to DC. There's smaller protests in DC anyway so who knows at this point. Civilian and military intel have to be very busy about this right now.

Alas, that kind of action is from the pre-Drumpf era. The Kaiser already told us 11 years ago that he could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose any vote. If I tried that stunt in the picture you posted, I wouldn't make it past the second empty lane from the curb before I was cut down by sniper fire - and Trump's idiot acolytes would cheer. Then FOX would claim I had a bomb on me, and that LIE would echo among the right-wing-nuts for at least a generation.

Dysfunctional Donald should have his face on every flag. Laws don't matter to him; What is US Flag Code? Isn't binding; carries no penalties.
