What do ya think?
"The thin new hats have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males — in keeping with the Obama directive."

I agree with the article. Perhaps Obama is continuing on with his globalization initiative and trying to make us blend-in with European militaries.
I think the hat sucks.

Heh heh. French looking cover for jarheads. **Snork**.
You can't make this stuff up.
Sounds like michelle, who obviously is the alpha of the relationshipo, is calling the wardrobe shots.
Next thing you know, tofu will be the meal of the day.

Our president has enough time on his hands to worry about fixing things that ain't broke?

1. I think this has absolutely nothing to do with President Obama.
2. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

“Why are we even focused on this while we are laying troops off for no budget?” another Marine Times commenter asked.
That is the real shame in this whole thing - aside from the fact that the new cover doesn't look good.

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:

Put a "poof" on top of it, and they'd look like head chefs!

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

I thought that uniform change had been rejected in 1999, during a party.

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. ;)

They look just like the WWI USMC hats.
