Despite what you may have seen in other headlines, there will be no change to the male uniform cover. Straight from the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos:
1. The President in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover.
2. We are looking for a new cover for our female Marines for one overriding reason: the former manufacturer went out of business.
3. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover.
After the outrage, there is no change NOW.
Girls in combat, gays in the Marine Corps, now Girlie Hats for the jarheads. Obama has done more to humiliate our armed forces than John Kerry and Jane Fonda combined.
You just gave me a headache. Out for a cigarette.
Dan Daley was certainly a man’s man. He uttered one of my favorite quotes of all time. Pinned down at Bellau Woods he is reported to have said “Come on you sons of bitches. Did you think you would live forever”.
Now that takes a set of gonads to say that in the situation they were in.
Semper Fi Gunny...
Amen.
And what the FB post implies is that the Marines will put WMs in the male cover, which is what the Navy is in the process of doing. Equally unacceptable.
WHEN will they storm the White hut ?
Whew. I’ve lost faith in the leadership of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to retain any semblance of spine...and would give up completely if the Obamaloons managed to infect even the Marines.
Help us Obi Marines, you are our only hope.
“WHEN will they storm the White hut ?”
I keep thinking that and was afraid to post...but there, you said it.
And I fully, completely, utterly agree.
The lowest ranking Marine possesses infinitely more courage, morals, strength, training, education and trustworthiness than does the Obamadork/felon/cretin, and general piece of sewage.
The wife and I are also former Marines and the new cover isn’t that much different than the WM cover from the early 70s and before. If there was an attemmpt to make it more like the Dan Daly style cover of the early 1900s then they’ve failed. I don’t see anything particulary bad about the true Dan Daly style I don’t think there is any reason to change from the wheel cover.
I swear the libs leak stuff like this to press to get everyone worked up and distracted from paying attention to important stuff.
It sounds to me as though a trial balloon might have been shot down.
Agreed

Makes two of us in agreement with that comment.
Look for some weaseling, as always. Something like, “We changed the headgear for the women, but then we realized that that was a sexist thing to do, so everyone now must wear the girly hat.”
Being promoted is the means to introduce politically correct ideology into the ranks. I hope the retired veterans who are like Gen Gray who spoke at the Beirut memorial will become vocal, unite, and form a counter offensive to the post-modern agenda.
Thanks for this -- I think it was paraphrased in Clint Eastwood's "Heartbreak Ridge" in the conversation between Chouzou (sp?) and Gunny Highway where he says "You're too ugly to live forever."
I wonder if Dan Daley was the inspiration for the Highway character.
