Changing what you call something does not change it's nature.

Spent time in the Corps? It is a cover to a Marine just like the place he pisses is a head. Just because you are a civilian doesn't change the nature of things that are used by Marines. Heads existed long before toilets.

Anyone with personal experience, or with family in the Navy or the Corps knows the proper name for these things; likewise with the other branches.

The military has time-honored words for objects; it brings uniformity, which is crucial in battle. For civilians to double-down on hubris-inspiried expectations that they can or should be called something else is dishonorable.

they can or should be called something else is dishonorable.

One would have to understand honor first. Liberal chicken$hit civilian know it alls who deign to instruct those who own the terms.

Obama would have stepped on it.

Then raised one leg and urinated on it.

[NTHockey]

You call it your way and let the Marines do as they please.

Semper fi

A minority Marine, treated like family by a “racist” president...

[Songcraft]

On windy days like that, maybe the Marines there should wear a "cover" with some kind of chin strap on it...

I guess you kinda missed the joke in the post. . .sometimes happens when you don’t read the entire post.

Perfectly stated and thank you for posting it.

Tell it to the Marines, I'm sure they will give it the attention the suggestion deserves

[Songcraft]

Well, it would have saved that Marine from an embarrassing situation.

Nothing embarrassing about it for the Marine, I doubt the President called him a dumbass. Probably get some shiite for it back at the barn, but how many guys get their cover returned by the CINC along with a pat on the arm?

[Songcraft]

"Nothing embarrassing about it for the Marine"

You're kidding, right?

[upchuck]

You a speech writer for Maxine? :)

[xone]

You're kidding, right?

No, that uniform isn't made for everyday wear in bad weather conditions. If the cover is worn correctly, it will get blown off. While my squid brethren would refer to us as jarheads, there is no way to screw that POS to our BHG.

LOL! Great post! And as Rush Limbaugh always says, all good humor contains an element of truth to it.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I do.

You were the guys all up in the air and harping about someone calling a hat a hat.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Such things were invented by civilians.

Who ever invented it, gets to name it.

Quit being such a child.

[xone]

Heads invented by civilians? Military headgear? Learn some history, and quit being a dickhead.
