Perhaps you heard the heartrending tales last week from Washington which told of the need f
RT: Senate approves $700bn military budget
They achieved their victory and said after approval, "The Pentagon budget is still not up to a trillion per year but this paltry beggar's pittance will do for now."
When I've won a big military appropriation, my first thought is to ask what I can I buy and the more frivolous the better.
Donald Trump wants a military parade on Pennsylvania Avenue with tanks and who knows what else next July the Fourth. It's not only glorious parade at some ridiculous cost, the tracks should give a demolishing crew's effort toward the road surface. Trump only had to say, "Take it easy on the costs since at least there won't be any need to clean up after the horses."

Inspired by the French Bastille Day tradition, US President Donald Trump has said he may begin holding a military parade on Pennsylvania Avenue for America’s Independence Day celebrations, beginning next July.
Speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron during a joint press conference at the United Nations in New York, Trump said the idea was inspired by France’s festivities he witnessed during a state visit to Paris in July.
“It was one of the greatest parades I’ve ever seen,” Trump said Monday. “It was a tremendous thing for France, and for the spirit of France.”
“Because of what I witnessed, we might do something like that in Washington on July 4 down Pennsylvania Avenue,” he added, prompting guffaws from his French counterpart and the world’s press. The US president was insistent, however, saying that he was so impressed by the military might on display in Paris, that the US was going to have a parade of its own.

What he happens to gain from it is the big stunt question.
Zen Yogi: maybe his logic is to stage a huge military procession of some kind which excites the crowd so they pay for yet more military things?
It looks that way, Yogi.
Zen Yogi: so you're thinking of some Tiananmen Square prank?
It does seem to need one.
Zen Yogi: how about a few thousand Chuckie dolls parachuting into the parade route?
Do they explode?
Zen Yogi: nah but they really stink, particularly when a tank runs over them.
That's so juvenile, Yogi.
Zen Yogi: true, it sure is but enjoy watching the hi jinks as the scent of the dolls begins to permeate the air of the crowd in the area
This whole twisted scene is only going to keep getting more adolescent, isn't it, Yogi?
Zen Yogi: it has been consistent that way
No worries, mate. They've got all kinds of loud looney gooneys running around and they seem to outnumber everyone else but it isn't true. Eventually the absurdity will stabilize.
