The cost will also depend on whether there will be a massive parade or not. However, these estimated costs do not include what the Beltway would have to bear post celebration, including trash pickup and road repairs from the weight of the tanks.

Earlier Reuters reported that Trump's plan would include more than 6500 troops, about 150 vehicles and 50 aircraft moving to Washington.
The parade will also feature thousands of soldiers who will be housed in Trump's government office buildings in Washington DC, according to new Army planning documents received by USA Today. One of the Defence Department officials said, “Bring your sleeping bags.”
Critics react
After Trump's plan went viral, critics started slamming the administration, calling such a parade an authoritarian display of power that is wasteful, given the mission of Trump and Elon Musk’s "so-called Department of Government Efficiency."
Such military parades in the US are rare, while it is usual in other countries during victories celebration in battle, or showcasing military might.
