Just saw this on Fox. Dean was in NH to submit his $1000 filing fee for the NH primary. There were protestors there waving confederate flags, wearing sheets (that you Dr. Raoul?), and holding "Dean McGovern" signs.
10th Mountain, I believe, on Mt. Rainier. I've got some good pics of WWII Finnish ski troops, but their german-style helmets weren't quite what was wanted for the pic. Here's another for you.
FYI, in summer, the Swiss and Finn ski troops become bicycle troopers, still a valid means of transportation and a silent one, in their plans on how to fight wars in their neck of the woods.
When I was stationed in Bavaria, I noticed a flyer asking for volunteers for the Garmisch ski patrol at one of the service clubs, and as our battalion's Übersetzer und doltmescher- battalion interpreter. I figured in was a few weeks TDY away from the routine at the S2 shop, and the chance to learn to ski and meet cute Swiss and Italian snow bunnies was an okay benefit too.
First surprise: we were snowshoe mounted, though I picked up x-country skiing on my own, and was pretty good at it until 1978.
Second: we mostly went out at night, after the ski bunnies had already retired for the evening's festivities. Deals like that are never as good as they sound.

Hmmmm...here in Kali, the rainbow sybolizes "Homocultural".
I find that offensive and a reminder of homosexual murders, like those who murdered Jessie Dirkhising. Accordingly, it's a hate symbol that has to be banned.
AMERICANS invented COOL!!!!
