First, bahahahableeahhh...
But you bring up an interesting point: I don't know if laying down in front of the tanks would be a good idea.
The obvious message it would send would be "stop war", "war is bad", etc, But most people, even looney-lefties like me, understand the value and importance of defence, and the sacrifice soldiers make. Laying down in front of tanks could be seen as an insult to those soldiers and even their families, which is something I would never want.
I think a military parade is a great idea when done for a great reason: The end of a war. "Look everyone, here are the men, women, machines and technology that ended the war and brought peace back. Yayyy". Good.
The parade that Trump wants is for no reason whatsoever except to glorify Trump, and maybe to show off some how to Kim Jong Un. This idea deserves protest. It's a stupid, embarrassing, accomplishes nothing and wastes money.
I wouldn't lay down in front of a tank to protest this though, because I don't think he would get the message anyway. It would just piss alot of other people off, and accomplish nothing in my opinion.
