It looked goofy and lame. People want a cool President, not a wannabe soldier.

Bush was a veteran of WWII, a real man's war.

The tank reminded voters that Dukakis was merely a veteran of a "police action" and looked insignificant in comparison.

Dukakis didn’t serve in the Korean War either...he was just stationed there after the fighting had ended.

This.  It made him look like a poser.  No one likes a poser.
