total de-motivation. They are probably adding soy (estrogen) to their meals at chow hall and in their MREs, too.

There’s a reason Obama has made this a priority.
The Marines hold his umbrella.

oh, another thing, I wonder if Gen Amos is good with this. If so, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Disgusted with the whole thing because I love their uniforms, especially the way they respect their covers and are meticulous in the care of them all. I wonder if I could write Amos. Does they have to do this?

Thats pretty gay. I havent seen anything like it sincedoes anyone remember the cylindrical `French cop fatigue caps that Kennedy made Army troops wear in the early `60s? I think his Francophile wife talked him into it. If you're talking about the Ridgeway Cap, that predates Kennedy.

Another history lesson is the law of consequences. After Stalin gutted most of the Red Army's general staff, the Soviet military was ill prepared to take on the Germans after Hitler's invasion. Had Hitler not postponed his invasion for several months to bail Mussolini out of messes the Italian dictator made in the Balkans, the Nazi flag would have flown over Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad before 1941 was out.
To: Wallace T.
Did Stalin have them killed?
since when does this slack jawed faggot have ANY say in uniforms???

"They look French." Disagree. The kepi blanc looks like a proper military uniform item...

I remember when Captain Kangaroo was an old guy. Now he looks kind of young. I don’t get it. What changed? :-)

You’re right the French Foreign Legion wear those hats and I think it would be a mistake to call one of those guys girly. Also unlike the US they do not allow woman and have no plans to do so.

Many of them were killed, including three of five Marshals of the Soviet Union, their equivalent to five star generals. There were two sets of purges: one as part of the overall purges of the late 1930s, another immediately preceding the German invasion of the USSR. The latter probably was the result of a German disinformation program. After the Nazi invasion, Stalin had some 300 senior officers executed for their failure to stop the enemy advance.
