I know the perfect vehicles for Trump's parade

Most Army divisions, if not ALL Army divisions, have Opposing Forces Detachments. These range from two or three people expert in enemy weapons that give classes on them, to company-size units of infantry trained to fight the way the enemy does that serve as the Designated Bad Guy in field exercises.

Most of them have at least a few Soviet-made vehicles. The BTR-60 wheeled personnel carrier we had in the 101st had been "modified" by swapping the Russian engines and transmissions - it has two - for Chevy engines and automatic transmissions we got out of a junkyard. Much more reliable and you can get parts.

Since Trump is planning a Soviet May Day-style parade (just a month and a half later than the communists did theirs) it only makes sense to bring the right kinds of vehicles to it.
