What a fucking joke:
A soldier in a Revolutionary War uniform was sitting under a tree, vaping and
scrolling on his phone. It was the Army’s two-hundred-and-fiftieth
anniversary celebration in D.C., and I was looking for the entrance to their
fitness competition and cake-cutting ceremony, before the big parade at
night. Walking down Independence Avenue, a little before noon, I heard a din.
Behind the Department of Agriculture building, thousands of soldiers were
getting in formation. They had spent the night sleeping in the federal
agency’s headquarters—workers had been asked to telework to accommodate them—
and now they were streaming out into the muggy day for their procession. Each
conflict in the Army’s history was to be restaged in a carefully
choreographed performance, and so the soldiers were dressed in period
costumes: some from the Revolutionary War, others in outfits from the Civil
War, the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War. The uniforms had been
rented and shipped to them from Hollywood.
