ALSO FROM THE “Stars and Stripes” article
“The Marine Corps also has been asked by the DoD to find a UNISEX option for a dress and service cover, Marines said.”

Sounds like the original report of NY Post was correct, more weasel words from the S&S.
Sounds like someone is trying to run for cover. :-)

What about the propaganda picture showing a male marine wearing one also?

Nothing mentioned about Mooshell making the call. “Listen General we both know who you work for. He and I both want to see you make it to the end of your career in one piece. It would be a shame if one morning the police found a little coke in your car on the way to work...and I don’t mean a soft drink.”

Why the hell should we believe a GOVERNMENT newspaper that believes what a GOVERNMENT entity (Marine Corps) says about their GOVERNMENT boss. The Stars & Stripes has always been a “Whoever’s In Charge” lapdog and this is just another example of that!

“We are looking for a new cover for our female Marines for one overriding reason: The former manufacturer went out of business.

That sounds phony on the face of it. What stops them from handing the same specs to an alternate manufacturer?

In fact, it is phony.

The manufacturer of the women’s “bucket cover” – which has a distinctly different shape than the men’s cover – is going out of business and will not continue to make the cap, according to the Marine Corps.

Another Obamacare shut down???
