Bullshit.
Dean's estimated range of one to two million active military was correct. The range he cited wasn't a guess at all.
Two days after Dean's appearance on MTP, three active military leaders directly involved in the Iraq War were asked by media reporters the number of troops of active duty in Iraq. They each gave a different number, ranging from as low as 120,000, to as many as 300,000. Now, if these military leaders weren't able to give accurate counts, why chastise Dean for giving a similar range?
The correct answer is 1.4 million.
