Up to the moment of Dean’s scream he was called “the leading candidate” based mostly on ballot stuffed online “polls”. Well; that's all it takes these days...

His big problem is the chin strap. Its all crooked and looks stupid. I was in the Army, and the chin strap on the steel pot and Kevlar helmets were always, always used.
But it was different on the tank. That helmet is called a CVC, and the earpieces hug your head...its a lot like wearing a set of headphones with a fiberglass helmet attached. We never, and I mean never, wore the chin strap. Not even in training at FT Knox, where most things were ‘by the book’. It just wasn’t necessary.

The press tried to play off the Howie Dean Scream as “the thing” that killed his campaign. It was his far left political rhetoric.
I remember back in the early '80s how the MSM assured us that the only reason Teddy Kennedy wasn't President was Chappaquiddick. I remember calling a talk show with Elizabeth Drew on it, to remind her of the liberal blood baths in '78 and '80 and how they couldn't all be due to Chappaquiddick. But, she just ignored my point. Too difficult to contemplate, I guess.

(I remember when a President having an "enemies list" was a scandal. Now, they have a kill list.)

Note how clean his ALICE is. The crispness of his BDUs. Wonder how he did that?

You know how he did it.
Because people who pronounce Gengis Khan, “Jenjis Kjhan” and people who put Swiss cheese on a Philly cheese steak...don’t fight wars...they observe them.
