How much will this cost? No money for combat training, but money for this foolishness.

Maybe not girly, but just plain ugly.

Thanks, Communist-in-Chief.

Saw a USMC military guy do a great job with the song, “God Bless America” at Fenway Park. Get that marine a recording contract!

I think the marine on the far right looks pretty girly, not the hat.

I agree.

The Corps has always had the sharpest (to me) uniforms and the reformed cover idea would hurt it.

It’s part and parcel of the grand plan to destroy America. Emasculate the military: make it a crime to mention Christianity, make it a crime to speak out against homos, let the homo agenda dominate, women in combat, sacking of top brass in all branches, cut veteran medical benefits, charge soldiers for equipment damaged in combat, etc. Some actions are small, some large, but they all add up to the same thing...destroy the military and America.

I was a civilian contractor on a major
Marine base during the nineties (Clinton) and witnessed the change from a hard core fighting unit to the cafeteria at your local community college.

The Dear Leader’s IMPERIAL pRES__ENCY has made certain
that there has been NO US military training for 6 months —
except al Qaeda which continues with transfer of weapons.

America? gets girly uniforms for the Marines.
