K-pot




Alright, so I'm used to seeing civilian journalists who don't know a Mauser rifle from a javelin (Gilbert & Sullivan reference) on the news in war zones ineptly wearing kevlar helmets looking like three-year olds wearing their parent's shoes, fish riding bicycles or a DI in a tutu....

But I just saw a clip on CNN of Iraqi troops being brought up to miltary readiness...

and one of them was wearing their helmet backwards.

This is not good.

Yeah, a kevlar helmet has a nice little piece of armor that's good for covering you upper neck, but spun 180 degrees, is not so good for seeing out of. I dunno.
