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.

Because no other company is capable of making the same shape? BS, this not the reason for a change, just an easy excuse.
And I bet that some useless military unit in some 3rd world nation also wears that same color beret in order to tickle their unsatisfied ego.
What was considered elite at Operation Market Garden is now copied by less elite units worldwide.
Heh...I like that!
Interesting. The male and female “Daly” covers pictured are different, which leads me to believe this was never actually a female only survey. It is absolutely possible i’m way off base here, but my bs meter is pegged so hard the needle is bent. I’m not trying to be argumentative with you, please don’t take it as such.
Funny how I don’t usually trust most of what I hear but because I’m a Marine mom I HOPE they are being honest. Either way, I doubt it will happen. The women look good no matter what cover they wear. I think a blues, blue and red cover would be good but it is white to go with belt and gloves. accessories must match! :) Arguing is healthy.
God love ya Marine mom. I hope so too.
It looks like it has the shape of the cover the French Foreign Legion have.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; I'm good with that. What I can't abide is our USMC adopting the headgear of some useless 3rd world military.
The cover is normal-sized. In North Korea, the people come shrunken.
