[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Being a 66 year young Seasoned Citizen (and a Nam Vet who spent 8 years in the USAF) and hardly a fashion guru or in the know what is or is not "in" (for men, much less women) I could not disagree more on either count.

My initial reaction upon seeing that pic yesterday was man, Sarah could look good in a Burqa and that the hat was "cute."

Also as someone who wore fatigues (while working on planes) back in the 60's when Fidel first became a serious threat (I was in Basic Training when the Cuban Blockade was happening), I never thought there was even a close resemblance and in fact we AF types had and wore fatigue hats which looked similar to Sarah's.

Methinks this is muchado about nuttin!

Exactly right. The thread origin seems to have been "Meow! Phfffft."

As a 64-year-old USAF vet, I agree. And I, too, remember those old floppy, fatigue hats...during tech school we used to starch them and put them over butt cans to square them up to look like TI hats.

It's just more leftist, symbolism-over-substance crap to put down Palin.
