The military parade commemorating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday will be a new spectacle for many Americans. This will not be the first U.

The parade, which is expected to draw 200,000 spectators to the streets of Washington, D.C., celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army but also comes on Trump’s 79th birthday, raising complaints from some that its real purpose is to embellish his strongman image. The Army says the parade will cost up to $45 million.
