A note from John Wayne to Obama... A note from John Wayne to Obama... clamper1797 USN 1969-1973
Besides being a stupid idea why would anyone think it was necessary to waste $8 million of the US taxpayers money to do this?
Are they pink?
They could team up with Amtrak and buy in larger bulk.
I don’t think it looks girly. I think the new uniforms look banana republic. Something a Generalissimo Maximus would wear.
That’s consistent with America’s trajectory. So I guess we should just go with it.
Reminds me of the unsightly uniforms the USAF enlisted men wore in the 50’s with their summer tunics like the “bush jacket”. Winter blues were often referred to as a Greyhound busdrivers’ uniform.
Anyone with pride in their uniform, after basic training, bought the long-sleeved gabardines. It was rumored that some general’s wife came up with the design for the post WWII uniform.
Typical government attitude to allow an outsider to design something to be used by others that they themselves have no intention of using. Reminds me of 0-Care.
Obviously copied from the WWII, Women Army Corps:

0bama is emasculating the Marines to lower morale and drive down enlistments (except for gays who think the hats are ‘darling’).
I can't wait for the Obama stooges to lose it completely.
Capt. Kangaroo was not a girlyman!
There is, as well, the inevitability of payback. What 0bama has in mind for the Navy might make The Village People look like a platoon of Spartans. Women in crackerjacks? (Sound of hyperventilating) WOMEN IN CRACKERJACKS??!?
Senior Chief, yer lookin' good this morning...
As the son of a Marine, and a bluejacket myself; the epic tennis match of insults that MUST fly between us never fails to lighten my mood. Absolutely hilarious, i love it.
As for the cover issue; whoever is pushing this needs a keelhauling. Don’t $#!% with the Corps.
From the Marines Facebook page this morning:
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.

Obama wants to homosexualize and thereby to destroy America, beginning with the Marines.
The guy is a sick, sick puppy.
