As the US Army prepares for its 250th birthday celebration with a major parade of military hardware in Washington, DC, which just happens to coincide with President Donald’s Trumps birthday, former officials are growing increasingly concerned about how the military is being pulled into the political arena by the Trump administration,

A military-style vehicle was used in an immigration raid in Compton on June 9, according to witnesses and video of the incident.

Dissent against the parade is also coming partly from within one of Trump’s most reliable support bases: veterans. Although former U.S. military personnel have historically voted with wide margins in favor of Trump and the Republican Party, there is a growing discontent among some within the community.

President Donald Trump praised the United States Army as the “greatest, fiercest and bravest fighting force” at the conclusion of a grand display of military might in the nation’s capital Saturday as the Army celebrated its 250th birthday with a parade.

The US State Department has signed off on the potential sale of military hardware to Australia valued at an estimated $2 billion (A$3.1 billion), including fighter jet spare parts.

Washington — President Trump is hosting a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army today, bringing tanks and soldiers to the streets of Washington, D.C., for the capital's first major military parade in more than three decades.

The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., has voiced support for President Donald Trump ’s military parade, saying Americans should support it regardless of politics.
