Possible New Marines Uniform Dismissed as too 'Girly'
Yahoo News ^ | 10/24/13 | Sarah Weir

Crank up the defibrillator: The New York Post is having a coronary over what it says is "Obama's plan" to sissify the United States Marines. "A change to the Marine Corps' uniform hats could take the hard-nosed Leathernecks from the Halls of Montezuma to the shops of Christopher Street," gasps the tabloid in what it calls an "exclusive" article headlined "Obama wants marines to wear 'girly' hats." Christopher Street is a snarky reference to the historical and symbolic center of gay life in New York City. The Post goes on to claim that "officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines' iconic caps…with a new version that some have derided as so 'girly' that they would make the French blush." Hats aside, from the derisive tone and language, clearly someone doesn't think that either gays or women are tough enough to serve, not to mention the insult to the entire nation of France and our commander in chief, who has nothing to do with this decision.

0bama is emasculating the Marines to lower morale and drive down enlistments (except for gays who think the hats are ‘darling’).

"I don’t think it looks girly. I think the new uniforms look banana republic. Something a Generalissimo Maximus would wear."

They look like the hat that the French policeman wore in Casablanca.

Is "Casablanca" a jab at the White House during the time of war in the movie?

My understanding is that years ago, the grey wool used in the West Point, VMI and Citadel uniforms, was made in the Soviet Union.

The writer's indignant tone cracks me up.

I can't wait for the Obama stooges to lose it completely.

Or an EO directing urinals be removed from Camps Pendleton and Lejeune.

Put a rag around the back and it looks like a French Foreign Legion Kepi...

Just the sort of White Colonials an African Muslim might love to hate...

The usurper's roots are becoming more exposed every day.

Those new hats made the Marines look like sea going bellhops ... oh wait.

Very funny, clamper1797, very funny. I guess the world should thank the Navy for inventing dancing...and the Marines for introducing it to women :-P

The picture looks like two U.S. Marines, and two members of the French Foreign Legion wearing U.S. Marine uniforms. After the caps will come the 88 beats-per-minute marching.

Makes it not so painful when you surrender, which The Won does all the time (except when the enemy is Americans - then he fights to the death).
