good analogy
I guess people were trying to make a point about the culture of the military changing and seized on this and then assumed it was literally Obama's doing.
Really, though, changing the marines' headgear probably isn't very high on his list of priorities.
Don't expect to see the Dan Daly cover replaced for male Marines.
???
The "new" replacement cap is like the old one that Dan Daly actually wore.
What were the lady Marines who were eligible for combat wearing when Daly served?
A silly apples from Mars, oranges from Venus comparison.
I pity today’s college graduates having to search for a job.
In 1964 I had my first interviews with companies like Union Carbide, ESSO, SOCAL and others when I was only a Junior. Was flown (First Class) from campus to their offices and I was wined and dined at each interview.
In my senior year, there were even more recruiters falling all over themselves trying to hire me. And I was NOT top of my class.
It was great to live in America and be an American.
In 1967, on a Thursday, I made a long distance call to an American company in Europe for an interview and two weeks later (after quitting my job in the US) I knocked on the door of their Personnel Department (it is now called Hooman Resources) and an hour later I was assigned an office where I unpacked my books and sliderule. Egad, things were so intensely swinging in the engineering business.
I had to have wheels so I took the afternoon off to purchase my British-racing-green MGB. Tooled around with my tonneau cover firmly in place just to look cool.
Sigh. Elections have consequences.
Thanks for this thread.

What a shame!
The Pink Panther/Peter Sellers/ Captain Clewseau “Look” on all THREE genders of our Mighty Marines would have struck terror in the hearts of our worst enemies.
Ah, well. Maybe the Wimpification Police in the Pentagon can come up with something else more terrifying, say maybe feathers in a Yankee-Doodle Dandy Hat?
BTW, how is that President Valerie Jarrett battle orders conversion of ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, (easy to read in the dim light of battle), into hard to read small letters for battle orders coming along?
More obamic lies.
The real question should be; “Why did the story gain such traction so fast?”
I would argue it was because it seemed totally plausible to just about everyone, even to Obama supporters.
Do the people at Business Insider ever spend a waking moment not covering for their Messiah?
LOL, good one......
Sez Paul Szoldra of Business Insider. [snicker] Thanks EveningStar.
Steven Colbert Rips Media Reports Of Obama Ordering Marines To Wear ‘Girly’ Hats
(also by Paul Szoldra)
http://www.businessinsider.com/stephen-colbert-marine-girly-hats-2013-10
This story is from ‘Business Insider’, which is a Democrat propaganda publication meant to look like a competitor of Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily, etc. Therefore, it cannot be trusted and neither can this guy Paul Szoldra. I’m saying he’s probably a liar and his story should not be trusted.
Sure, maybe Ubama didn’t give the order directly, but it is a known fact that the scumbag liberal Democrats love to screw around with the Marines. For example, it is well known that the Clinton mob was relentless in trying to make Marine Corps boot camp train men and women together, like the army. The Marines told the Clinton mob to go play in the street.
Ubama and the Chicago mob (descendants of the Capone mob, remember) are playing tougher. I’m not sure what the body count is for top military commanders fired by Ubama, but it’s unprecedented - - through the roof. A large part of that has to do with the sodomization and feminization of the once-proud US military, but the rest is strictly for intimidation. Play (scumbag liberal Democrat) ball, or you’re gone.
If Paul Szoldra isn’t a liar and a rat operative, then why is this story in ‘Business Insider’?
Marines shoot down Internet story on Obama's alleged push for ‘girly hats’
Stand Down Marines & Supporters-No Change to Male Cover-Vanity
I agree with freeper FlingWingFlyer:
“It sounds to me as though a ‘trial balloon’ might have been shot down.”
And now they’re scrambling to absolve the Ubanga mob from any damage. Military commanders who haven’t yet been dismissed by Ubanga in favor of homo-hugging, feminist metrosexuals are going to be sure to say exactly what they are told to say.
LOL on the WMs. (but true)
Another Obama friendly article from Business Insider. Imagine that.
Lately I see they're back to wearing the 'Bucket' cover.
Probably happened after COL Crawford retired.
