Guess what year this photo was taken. (via Boston.com) At the website, the photo caption reads: Russian BTR-90 Infantry fighting vehicles roll down the street in Moscow, Russia, Thursday, May 7, 2009, during a final rehearsal for the Victory Day military parade. It appears that the rest of the world is not buying into this whole “lay down your arms, ‘cause everybody’s our buddy” philosophy the White House is trying to popularize. Know what’s the best argument for why we don’t engage in our own displays of military awesomeness? It’s not that we shouldn’t be crass or intimidating to the world (and thereby create more jihadists against us). It’s that if we were to have tanks and missile launchers and such start rolling down our streets, the American people would run away screaming, fearful that the weaponry was aimed at them. Sad, but true…as proven by an Air Force One flight over New York.
