it was bad enough the pansy @$$ Obama couldn't hold his own umbrella,.. but to direct the marine corp to change hats to one that is more faminin is downright treasonous..



Obama wants Marines to wear ‘girly’ hats

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

Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a “unisex” look for the Corps, officials are 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.”

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.

It’s an understatement to say that the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces has his priorities mixed up. Barack Obama’s latest initiative is to “invest” in new caps for the U.S. Marines that will give members of the Corps a snazzy “unisex” look.

I guess the marine corp anti-muslim song is next..

Defense Department authorizes Muslim cadets’ wearing of hijabs, turbans

the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is already popping corks over its latest “victory.” The self-styled Muslim civil liberties advocacy group is in receipt of a letter from the U.S. Defense Department affirming that Muslim and Sikh students in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) will henceforth be permitted to wear Islamic head coverings.

Anti-terror rules relaxed to let Libyans get military training in U.S.

The Obama administration has drawn up draft rules that would end a decades-long ban on Libyans getting military training in the U.S., according to documents obtained by House Republicans who said Thursday that it’s the wrong move after last year’s Benghazi attack.

Two men training at Fort Leonard Wood are in custody after deputies say they tried to abduct a 12-year-old girl in Pulaski County Friday afternoon.

Mohammed Mahmoud Omar Mefleh, 34, and Antoine Clela, 31, were charged with enticement of a child and harassment.

The suspects are with a foreign military in a middle eastern country and are part of a training mission at Fort Leonard Wood, just a couple miles from where the attempted abduction took place.

when does someone stand up in Congress and call BS??

impeach this son of a bitch NOW

Jigs, it's past Congress and in the hands of the people. But, how many do you know with balls big enough to stand up? I only know a hand full. Most have their eyes closed and their fingers in their ears and would wear the girly hat if they didn't have to get their hands dirty in this mess.


It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace – but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

marines girly caps
NY Post

There's a big story getting passed around in military circles and beyond from The New York Post that President Obama wants the Marines to start wearing 'girly' caps.

The Post writer, Jeane MacIntosh, writes of a "plan by President Obama to create a 'unisex' look for the Corps, officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines’ iconic caps – known as 'covers' — with a new version that some have derided as so 'girly' that they would make the French blush."

As a Marine veteran who knows how these changes actually happen, I can tell you the story is 100% B.S. The bottom line: The President doesn't involve himself in what troops happen to be wearing.

But just to make sure, I called Headquarters Marine Corps and a spokesperson confirmed that the process for making changes to Marine uniforms hasn't changed since I last left the service in 2010.

Every year, a board (made up of senior enlisted Marines) meets and goes over things that they may want to change with uniforms. In 2007 for example, the board made a change that outlawed "sleeve" tattoos — and I don't remember thinking that was all President George W. Bush's fault.

"The President in no way, shape, or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover," said Capt. Maureen Krebs, a spokesperson for the Marine Corps. "We're looking for a new cover for our female Marines for the primary reason that the former manufacturer went out of business. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover."

If there's someone to blame about a change in a uniform, the buck would stop at Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos, who has the final say.


To clarify, I made sure to ask whether President Obama had suddenly joined the uniform board of the Marine Corps.

"Not that I know of, but that would certainly be newsworthy," Krebs said.

There's plenty of things to nitpick with the Obama administration, but this isn't even close to one of them.

But since I had already heard about this change, and why--- it didn't take long again to show these paranoid conspiracist frauds again of being frauds- that sadly some of you sheep will believe anything these nutcases tell you.. :roll: :roll:

To the Leftwing Sheeple, Cultists, FatSquatch's, & Idiots that think Obama is above insulting and dishonoring the Marines:



Obama Violates Marine Corps Regulations at White House

Submitted by may on May 18, 2013 - 12:53am

President Obama requested two of his White House Marine Sentries to hold an umbrella over his royal head and over the head of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey. The Washington Post reported,


Slogging through a drizzly Rose Garden news conference Thursday with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President Obama took a break to ask for some rain protection.

“I am going to go ahead and ask folks, why don’t we get a couple of Marines — they’re going to look good next to us — just because I’ve got a change of suits but I don’t know about our prime minister,” he said as two Marines appeared at the lecterns with umbrellas. “There we go. That’s good.” He gestured to the soggy press corps, adding, “You guys I’m sorry about.”

This was a gross violation of Marine protocol, which even the Commander in Chief is not allowed to overrule. How is it that President Obama can so easily order two Marines to hold umbrellas and found it impossible to direct military assets to protect our Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi, Libya?

The Daily Caller reported,


According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.

Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal.

The relevant portion of the regulation reads, “3035. UMBRELLAS (Female Marines). Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.”

Items not expressly delineated as authorized components of the Marine Corps uniform are prohibited. Male Marines are informed never to carry an umbrella from the earliest phases of training.

Not even the President of the United States can request a Marine to carry an umbrella without the express consent of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, according to the Marine Corps Manual.

The Marine Corps Manual, the guidebook that defines protocol for officers and enlisted Marines, in section 2806 paragraph 2, specifically states: “The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, published by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, shall be binding on all Marines. No officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.”

While many will characterize this as a minor infraction of military protocol, it is more importantly a glaring example of Obama’s disdain for our military men and women. The Commander in Chief should have a firm understanding of military protocol as it pertains to the White House and the Presidency.

If rain is expected, a civilian aide or White House staff member should be standing by with the necessary umbrellas and rain gear for the President and diplomatic guests. One might also expect that the White House would have enough collective intelligence to move functions indoors in the event of impending inclement weather.

At best, this was a breach of protocol. At worst, it was an insult of two Marine Sentries who were guarding Obama. It was not as egregious as Obama’s dereliction of duty in ordering those who were on their way to defend Americans to stand down when the Benghazi Diplomatic Mission came under attack.

Not really. The sad thing is the that enough mislead and enslaved voted for someone that this seems very plausible for them to do.

I find it quite humerus that this is the only thing since your departure that you have been able to come back and speak about.

Lot of BS has occurred, but I'm sure you're busy way out there riding the range 3 miles from town. :D

When you can find a spine, come on back. I really miss your daily schizophrenic episodes.

Even in the article Oldtimer was holding in such high esteem, this disclaimer was included: "There's plenty of things to nitpick with the Obama administration, but this isn't even close to one of them."

I expect him to post and run when something like a borrowits report goes mainstream because it seem very plausible. They'll jump full force on that but won't answer a question about Benghazi, or Fast and Furious, or IRS, or NSA, or..... ....... ......... ......... ....... ......... sorry, there are just too many to list, but you get the picture.

even the Marines discounting the rumor shows the decision came from the top down, and not from the "Marines" as the OT opinion piece indicates..



The survey indicated the Marines, prompted by the Department of Defense, were considering a change to smaller, thinner versions of their current caps for both male and female Marines.

I rest my case...

but even if the board makes a decision.. according to the "Marines"
the decision is final above them.. not with them..

The board is meeting Oct. 29 to consider the other survey questions. The ultimate say on all uniform decisions rests with Amos.

the fact is,.. the femaleAND male cover were both part of the survey..

the Board's survey isn't into wasting marine time.. it addresses actual uniform proposals..

to claim other wise is to defend without any real facts as this article did,.. just opinions..

so we now know that the decision came from above at the department of defense,..

both uniforms were included,.. the male cover (cap) and the female cover (cap)

and the final decision is not made by the Marines or the board,.. instead with Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos.

those facts I can back up with a reliable source,.. the "Marines" themselves.. and they are contrary to the opinion piece OT used as a rebuttal..


so who told him to inquire about changing both covers?

further rebuttal to the OT opinion piece
Marine Corps seeks feedback on universal cover for men and women

The Marine Corps Uniform Board may recommend the adoption of a universal cover for men and women to be worn with dress and service uniforms.

The change could take one of two forms. Either women could begin wearing current male covers with slight modifications, or all Marines could begin wearing new “Dan Daly caps,” according to a Marine news release. Daly caps feature a smaller crown

To gather feedback from both active duty and Reserve Marines, the Uniform Board distributed a survey across the Corps.

The board will convene Oct. 29 and take the survey results into consideration, although they are not binding.

In years past the Uniform Board has made recommendations counter to the desires of rank-and-file Marines who communicated their opinions via surveys.

Aside from changes to Marine covers, the survey addresses the possibility of authorizing microbraids for women in uniform
