Am I the only one who thinks of the German military

24. Yes, I have - kinda....

Edited to correct my answer:
Oh, you were talking about the chief's soft hat.
Oh, yes, we just talked about that today.
I was saying that the hats flapped down like that and the
cross-torso black belt that they wear in Phila make them look
like storm troopers. And some of the cops in patrol cars even
wear the knee-high boots. They're a scary sight when the
walk toward your car at night. I certainly don't want to piss them off.


This is a comment about the hard helmets
'Cept the German helmets curved outward at the bottom (I think)

They keep trying to perfect the style so that it offers the best protection.

I always wondered why they didn't protect the neck more but
I suppose that when you're in a prone position it would push the
helmet forward.

Probably, every little bend and twist in that design has a reason.
Until they come out with a better design.

Boy, you certainly drew a lot of flack for such a simple question didn't you.

Even when I say something nice in DU I just hunker down and wait for the
bullets to fly. Now, when I see the "My Posts" button light up I kind of have
to take a deep breath and see what I get. I look at it as skin-thickening practice.
Take a deep breath and keep on posting. Some of us like a good discussion.
Now, let's see what kind of shit I get for this!

Night, night...
