Donald Trump's yearning for a military parade conjures up the infamous photo of Michael Dukakis - helmeted in the turret of a Abrams tank.
It helped sink his candidacy along with Willie Horton. Does POTUS want to ride in the lead tank or salute from the reviewing stand? Abrams tanks are said to weigh sixty tons and a few of them could rip up Pennsylvania Avenue. And he will never find enough horses to equal the French.
Ah, but the crowd size !!!

At the height of the Viet Nam war John Wayne visited Harvard in a tank. He got a cheering reception. Or was it jeering?
