7. The Army planned a small event on the Mall; Biden approved it

... and I don't think anyone would disapprove of the Army celebrating its own birthday. That plan included a day-long festival that included such stuff as soldiers in period costumes, paratroopers landing on the Mall, and honoring vets and medal recipients -- but not tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Ave and 6500 soldiers walking 2.5 miles to be "reviewed" by a draft dodger who thinks soldiers are suckers and losers.
