From the Marines Facebook page this morning:

Despite what you may have seen in other headlines, there will be no change to the male uniform cover. Straight from the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos:

1. The President in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover.

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

3. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover.

Then why in the hell is a male Marine wearing it in the picture??

Because no other company is capable of making the same shape? BS, this not the reason for a change, just an easy excuse.
