A change to the Marine Corps' uniform hats could leave hard-nosed Leathernecks looking a lot less macho.

According to the New York Post, President Obama's plan to create a "unisex" look for the Corps has officials on the verge of swapping out the Marines' iconic caps with a new hat that some have derided as so "girly" that they would make the French blush.

"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!" one senior Marine source fumed to The Post. "The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous."

I like it. They look like legionnaire hats. The old ones look ridiculous.

There's going to be some pissed off Marines.

Hey, Boomer, weren't you in the Corp?

then join the Legion.

the hats look retarded.

 

[smackababy]

Looks a lot better than the Air Force's dress caps. Um, is that a shark fin on your head? That servers no function as a head covering what so ever... But, of course, they comprise a committee of people who don't have any job other than desk pilot to come up with the worst ideas for uniforms used in the field.

This should be the focus of the rage, not the style of the new hat...Pretty sad that the author didn't pick this as the issue...

"We don't even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers..."

 

[sdifox]

too much Anime!

 

[Rumpltzer]

Looks better for women, I think.

For men, I think that they both look silly. Original too wide, and new... too feminine or something. Getting a feeling of olden-days flight attendant hats for some reason.


This is my rifle.
This is my gun.

It would be a great source of rage if only there were any truth to it. DoD is not hurting for bullet money.

Now this, this should piss you off...

Back on topic: military headwear is supposed to look stupid and be impractical. It is part of the formal hazing esprit de corps building process that militaries have used throughout history. It's like the stupid chin strap worn across the lower lip.

no!

Its important!

Its not like we are in a debt crisis, have no federal budget or any sign of a federal budget, just wasted over half a billion dollars on a website that will determine people's health and the website doesn't work, fighting in a war, have more people out of work than ever before, have more people on government assistance than ever before, have 2 nuclear powers read to blow us all to hell and 2 more one more pissing off away from being there....

This hat is important!

you forgot the few billion we are giving to Pakistan.

 

[IronWing]

Aren't Marines supposed to be a bit more bulked up than the models above?

 

[IronWing]

We were running out of targets. We have to give them money to build more stuff for us to bomb.

 

[Ackmed]

First off, it's a cover not a "hat", "cap", or anything else. A cover.

Secondly, funding is killing us already. But honestly, I don't see this happening. Not even going to worry about it.

I'm still pissed I can't roll my sleeves in deserts anymore.

 

[CPA]

The Marines are not legionnaires, so why should they look like them?

 

[Red Storm]

What a pathetic waste of money.

:biggrin:

I hate our government leaders...

The country should just be run by a series of ATOT polls.

 

[glenn1]

Hey Marines, I think you forgot something:

Oh, that's right, you left it on your field cover:

Signed,

A real branch of the service
