Obama wants new "girly" hats for Marines

[howdy]

Should change it to a pink beret. Any force of guys with guns manly enough to wear pink, is a force you don't mess with. ;)

The Marines are already "a force you don't want to mess with".

Positively Nixonian.

Obummer is desperately looking for something he can do right. He needs to keep looking.

The emperor has no clothes.

I don't think he should tick off the people that protect him.( any more than he already has.)

[JSThane]

The clothes have no emperor.

The emperor has no clothes.

He wishes he was the emperor.

Obummer is desperately looking for something he can do right. He needs to keep looking.

Resign and go aways would be the first right decision he could ever make.

No chance of that.

This is one of the articles that goes 180 degrees out of what is proposed. The Marines are proposing that Women Marine's wear the MAN's cover and dress jacket. See article here:

I think that you are taking the subject article out of context, unless of course the topic article is a complete hoax.

OK - here's another story that clearly states "The story is sweeping the Internet: President Barack Obama is trying to emasculate male Marines by making them wear a girly cover with their famed dress uniforms. The only problem? It’s not true."

My best guess is that one of his AH buddies is in the hat making business, and just needs a tiny 'favor' before making another contribution to the exalted one.

I suppose they could issue two of them to each person. One to wear, one to take a crap in. Way too many changes to the Corps since I was in.

I was in building 58 at the Navy Weapons Plant (now the Navy Yard) back in the 60's. Kept my duty rifle as well as my two match rifles and about 1,500 rounds in the barracks. Now ammo not allowed on any base, but silly hats are proposed as issue. Glad I am long gone.

Even if untrue, everyone automatically believes it. Any other President would take that as a message that they need to look at their image.

Well, from what I can determine, there is really nothing to this problem.

The manufacturer of the women's hats is going out of business. Tests have been going on for the women to change to the men's style. They have been used on the evening parades at the Barracks, and it is going well.

The Marine Corps times is trash, it's written by people who would be better suited working for a tabloid.. It always pushes rumors, this won't happen, and if it did. I'd never wear the damn thing on base.

[TrackinPat]

Sorry just realized the NY times posted the original story... Regardless I still don't like the Marine Corps times. lol
