Marine Corps pulls uniform survey after ‘loud and clear’ opposition

The story is sweeping the Internet: President Barack Obama is trying to emasculate male Marines by making them wear a girly cover with their famed dress uniforms. The only problem? It’s not true.

First, some background: Men and women in the Marine Corps currently wear different types of covers as part of their dress and service uniforms. The manufacturer of the women’s “bucket cover” – which has a distinctly different shape than the men’s cover – is going out of business and will not continue to make the cap, according to the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps also has been asked by the DoD to find a unisex option for a dress and service cover, Marines said.

So, the Marine Corps Uniform Board, which meets quarterly, decided to gather feedback in advance of its meeting next week. Active and Reserve Marines were asked to vote on whether they believe women should adopt the current male cover, with some small modifications, or for all Marines to adopt what they call the Dan Daly cap.

Sgt. Maj. Dan Daly, a two-time Medal of Honor recipient who yelled, “Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?” as he led Marines into the fight at Belleau Wood during World War I, wore a cap similar to the option proposed by the survey.

The Marine Corps Uniform Board will use the surveys to formulate a recommendation, though popularity isn’t the only consideration -- as evidenced by the strong negative reaction to the recent decision to keep camouflage utility sleeves rolled down all year.

Commandant Gen. James Amos must approve any uniform board recommendation before it takes effect.

In an email, Marine Corps officials said there is no truth to reports that President Obama is behind the potential change.

“The president in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover,” according to the Marine Corps statement. “We are looking for a new cover for our female Marines for one overriding reason: The former manufacturer went out of business. … The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover.”

Face it: all you really care about is getting high, getting laid, and being able to buy all the hipster gadgets that you can get your hands on. You really have no principles other than what you claim come from Reason. But the funny thing about Reason is that it takes a lot of digging to actually find enlightenment. That something you don't have time for.

And spare me the inevitable whining about my math skills. You've clearly demonstrated your lack of understanding of the history of the country, why the Constitution was written the way it was, and so on. This ain't math. It's principle.

Until you yourself start jumping on the bandwagon with the rest of us, you have no place to criticize. It was people like you who created this big-eared little monster that strolled in to the White House. Until you get on board with getting rid of him, your comments are just a bunch of mindless agenda-driven frothing that means nothing, and solves nothing.

So spare us the blather. You really have no place to talk.



Hang on....
Let me get this straight....
I can't criticize Obama for legitimate faults and failures in the government, until I jump on some mythical bandwagon with "the rest of you", a bandwagon which apparently requires criticizing Obama for an already discredited (see Jet's post) claim.

That's just the sort of logical leap I would expect from an individual with low understanding of math... seriously. This is why I believe you can't argue with people who don't understand math. There is a basic understanding of the structure of a logical argument which requires simple math skills. If a person is willing to run willy-nilly with the laws of mathematics, what assurances could I possibly have that they would be willing to follow standard logical structure in their arguments.

Clearly none.
Your argument is vague, disjointed and nonsensical. And it's on a thread that was already discredited. You bring shame to yourself and your ancestors.
