Uh, no. The bill is entirely different.
On that other image of Palin someone posted above, you can really see how curved the bill is. Completely different.
The bill is not so different, the real difference is in the crown. Compare the crown of Saras hat with that of Castros. I should have used the term resembles instead of looks like.
Her hat is a stylized version of a military fatigue cap. The same style is worn today by our military.
Straight men don't care.
