Does this moron want the Marine Corps to revolt.

Looks very European

Is this real or is it like the "knife hand" thing?

[ruthabagah]

kind of suck I agree... But remember that the hat doesn't define the man

[Bailey Guns]

A nice shoulder bag would really set that off.

Since when does the POTUS get involved in deciding shit like this? Douchebag.

Based on the article, it sounds like the only involvement that Obama has is:

"The thin new hats have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males - in keeping with the Obama directive."

Sound like Obama made a directive that the uniforms for men and women should look good on both men and women. I guess I don't get that directive, but didn't the Army come out with a unisex BDU? I'm just remembering vaguely, so if I'm wrong, I do apologize.
But they do look so much better in the old hats.

I guess I don't get it, is not the purpose of a hat protection from the sun/rain/elements? This is military gear, why is style a part of it at all?
