3. (crap. i hate it when that happens. my excuse: i was typing fast,

spell checked and clicked "replace" without paying attention. i have no idea how i originally spelled it.)

excuse #2: i used to know a guy named helmut--subconsciously i must've been thinking about him (mid '70's, cute and shy hippie boy, went to the "free school", long blond hair)

excuse #3: i hadn't had enough of my dunkin donuts coffee and was still half asleep

excuse #4: i don't know how to spell hel...hel...you know, that thing you put on your head!

4. Good for her.

She is getting choked up just talking about the wounded.
The Army has upgraded their helmets,but the Marines and Navy havn't. At a saving of $71 per helmet.

5. The Marines are not changing their policy at this time.

Save $71 and doom a kid to permanent brain damage. She also just said "It pisses me off when people say I don't support the troops because I'm against this war."
