“The president in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover,”
Operable word: “DIRECTED”
A word to the wise is sufficient. At this point Obama’s position is “evolving” as it did with same sex marriage.
Seriously, the reaction must have been horrific as far as the powers that be are concerned.
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. :-)
