Sure got me in a tizzy. Doesn't take much though when it comes to our Marines.

It sounds to me as though a “trial balloon” might have been shot down.

3. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover.

Respectfully, if this is so then why did the USMC create a variant of the cover for men and publish photos of a male marine wearing it? I suppose I should interpret "had zero intention..." as "now has zero intention...".

[Starboard]

All this denial almost make the change a certainty. :)

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Then please explain the picture of the man wearing one too!

[kingu]

Zero intention of changing the male cover, except, well, maybe having everyone wear the Dan Daley cover. But that’s up to the board to give a recommendation and will be reviewed. We repeat, we have no intention of changing the male cover, yet.

Gosh, it is like they are a government agency.

LOL I was looking at their facebook page and they were born in 1775. Long time line for that page! It would be a good history lesson if they could allow posts to previous years.

We are looking for a new cover for our female Marines for one overriding reason: the former manufacturer went out of business.

What - with all the new business?

Time to find a Chinese one.

This “reassurance” comes from Obama’s lackeys. Please tell me you are not going to believe it.

IMO, the old 1920s version of the cap is far superior to more recent versions, and the new proposed (so-called) Dan Daly is now less “Dan Daly,” and indeed, more “girly” since it more resembles the one worn by WRs these last many years!

See Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly Pic, below, shown w/the 1920s headgear, and w/his two medals of honor worn around his neck.

After the outrage, there is no change NOW.

[Kenton]

I expect that we will soon see General Amos relieved of his command, to be replaced by a Lesbian of High Rank, who will quietly implement the change.

Girls in combat, gays in the Marine Corps, now Girlie Hats for the jarheads. Obama has done more to humiliate our armed forces than John Kerry and Jane Fonda combined.

[Da Coyote]

Whew. I’ve lost faith in the leadership of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to retain any semblance of spine...and would give up completely if the Obamaloons managed to infect even the Marines.

Help us Obi Marines, you are our only hope.

The wife and I are also former Marines and the new cover isn’t that much different than the WM cover from the early 70s and before. If there was an attemmpt to make it more like the Dan Daly style cover of the early 1900s then they’ve failed. I don’t see anything particulary bad about the true Dan Daly style I don’t think there is any reason to change from the wheel cover.

[Busywhiskers]

I swear the libs leak stuff like this to press to get everyone worked up and distracted from paying attention to important stuff.
