Remember this?
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.
But the POS is such a wussy girly-man he made a U.S. Marine violate rules by forcing the Marine to hold a umbrella — just to shield him from a light drizzle.
Now the POS is taking the Leathernecks’ manly cap away.
Male and female Marines currently wear gender-specific caps, like these:

But if the POS has his way, male and female Marines will wear gender-neutral caps that will cost $8 MILLION, like these:
Jeane MacIntosh reports for the New York Post, Oct. 23, 2013:
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 – known as “covers” — with a new version 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 covers 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.
“The Marine Corps is being ‘encouraged’ by DoD to standardize on a unisex/universal dress and service cap,” Marine brass noted in an internal memo obtained by The Post.
The controversial covers have been dubbed the “Dan Daly” hat, after a World War I sergeant from Long Island who twice won the Medal of Honor.
But some Marines love the old hat, which has been in use since 1922 and think the new hat is a glorified “porter’s cap.” The new Daly model is based on a style the Marines used from 1904 to 1918 – and then jettisoned.
“The Dan Daly cap looks too French, and the last people we want to associate our Marines with would be the French military,” wrote one commenter on the Marine Times Web site.
As of now, the new covers are only in the proposal stage.
Marines have until Friday to cast their votes on whether to adopt them or keep the old hat with modifications. Marine Corps head Gen. James Amos will make the final decision.
According to the memo obtained by The Post, requiring all troops to use the Daly cover will cost $8,221,958. Going with the traditional cap will save $284,043, because the current female caps are more expensive.
“Why are we even focused on this while we are laying troops off for no budget?” another Marine Times commenter asked.
“None of the [members] liked the idea of a universal cover for all Marines,” the internal memo noted. “The group members did not like the appearance of the Dan Daly cap on the male Marine.”
The jerk has authorized the tapping of Chancellor Merkel's phone lines in order to provoke Germany into declaring war on America. That would diffuse the clamor over Lucifercare and would allow deployment of a legion of homosexual warriors to kiss the Germans to death.
Germany would win a war against America hands down!
Not he's not - and I don't know why people keep posting it on FR. For those unable to keep up...(from 2 days ago)

The male Maines will probably be required to wear padded bras as well. Only Tramp Stamp tatooes will be permited for male or female Marines.
I unsubscribed to my local news rag about 20 years ago when the local queers mocked the Iwo Jima flag raising by posing as the Marines, but raising the fag flag. I cancelled the subscription the day after the paper published a picture of the atrocity with an approving caption.
Oh, Tom. Relax.
Sit back and read what you want to unless you like clandestine surveillance.
Here. Watch this.

One more distraction piece — Wag the Dog
Have we really devolved to believing this idiocy? THIS is Conservatism? We are turning into Conspiracy Theory central. We take responsibility for nothing and always blame someone else, it’s rigged, Obama did it, etc.
No wonder we’re getting slaughtered in the polls and at the ballot box. No wonder we have no Leader. It’s a cadre of Chicken Littles.
Disgusting and amoral.
Arrogant, self serving anger that only serves to give them purpose and relevancy get
Need to change the name and content of the Republicrat Party.
Just stand around playing pocket pool and refrain from throwing bricks at the enemy.
Hey, look BCW. This is comedy.
I remember all the stories of how the Clintons treated the military who worked at the WH. NO UNIFORMS - and they were used as bus-boys .. carrying bags for the Clintons on their travels.
This hate for the military is just the standard fare for any DICTATOR. They are terrified of a military like ours. “O” has systimatically fired all the best and brightest generals in all the services. Therefore, he will have tighter control over what our military does.
Remember that picture of “O” watching the Osama bin Laden raid ..?? Well, if you look closely, you can see a look of fear on his face. Why ..?? Because he suddenly realized how skilled these people were .. which actually made him afraid for his own life. And .. if anybody is paying attention .. ever since that event, the emasculation of our military became increased by 10x.
So obvious; as a dictator, you don’t want to end up like Morsi .. put out of office by your own military.
I would not be surprised if next year Obama fags up the military more by making them wear pink for a month.
I think any guys with balls should say I’m not going to wear pink. For whatever reason. If they give you grief start discussing how none of these cancer groups really has any intention of “curing” cancer and are just money-making groups that are intent on making more money, each year.
Nothing would surprise me re “O’s” denegration of our military.
I think this attitude of his has soured more people than you can imagine. 95% of the Tea Party is made up of former military people.
Wait until you see the new Marine Birkenstocks.
Wonder what the unisex undergarments will look like?
