this pussification of america has just gone too far :shakesfist:
-
I mean, I'm not outraged (because I don't give a crap) but it does seem like a waste of cash.
-
You'd think the Marines would pick their own hats regardless of who is in the White House. Pretty dumb all around.

"We don't even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women's hats!"
pfffft :lol:

@Rador @Joseph Baumgart That would be like having women sailors wear the male cracker jacks. Not a good. Obama is a 1st class Jerk. He needs to take a long walk off a short pier.
-
All this is great, now obama is trying to make all the the Marines look feminine. His true colors are really coming out and he will probably come out of the closet soon and finally admit he is a homosexual just like that governor years ago.
-
Do they wear "gender-specific" underwear? If we are going to have gender equality, underwear should also subject to strictures.
For that matter, do men have access to non-gender-specific tampons? Can't have that, now can we? The men in the Marine Corps might feel discriminated against.

This story is true in that there is an effort to make the uniform work for both sexes and there is a survey open until tomorrow which appears to be focused on the two options of : 1-Both Men and Women wearing a standard man's covering OR 2-Both sexes wearing the smaller Bell Crown style cover. Why the Commander in Chief would have anything to do with such minutia is unclear to me. Does anybody know the answer to that?

@Rador I can! Because he isn't really Commander in Chief. He's a terrorist working from the inside out. You'll see someday.

@Jason @Rador Oh, I want the man gone and all of his policies reversed but right now I want to know if he had some kind of direct hand in this.

Heavens no. A Marine is a Marine and not some sissy looking gay boy. I was a Navy Medic stationed with HMM 165. There is a lot of tradition in the Corps and Obama should not be allowed to make any changes. What's next? Will he change the Marine Corps Hymm to "YMCA"?

Manufacturer of the women's hats went out of business, so they're looking for a new cover, preferably one made in China. The male cover will not change. It is true, however, that making the men wear the current female hats would have looked incredibly pussy-ish.
-
man, this is hard hitting stuff, seven! :Wha:
-
marines say it isn't true. the company that makes the women's hats is stopping production, so they are finding a replacement that is a unisex option.
lol @ foxnews

I really dislike that they would be spending time and money on something like this while we're in a recession. Too many bureaucrats trying to make their jobs seem worthwhile.
-
WHERE IS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ON THIS?!?!?!?!!!
-
Now I understand why Obama is driving the switch to a unisex hat. ABC reports:
The cost of switching to a new unisex Marine cap would cost $6.9 million, but a switch towards having female marines wear the male version of the cap would actually save $600,000.
I'm not sure what's more appalling, spending less money, or making female marines dress a bit more like the dudes. :runaway:
-
What's appalling is letting women be Marines in the first place. :confused:
(jk guys chill out :D)
-
What is so feminine about those hats?
-
The new hats are smaller, they would save money in the long run.
At least I think the new ones were the smaller ones. :dunno:
