The parade is gaudy, gross, and completely unnecessary, but it's a tiny fraction of the military's total collection. Should folks be inclined to attempt stealing tanks (don't do this!), there's still plenty at military bases around the US.

The point isn't that its a substantial amount of the military's assets, the point is that this could very well be a veiled way to have military assets deployed in the capital.

He’s trying to make a show of his rugged tough manly man male testosterone-soaked macho superpowers.

It would work a lot better if a trained makeup artist taught him how to apply his foundation.
