Oorah! Marine Corps Nixes Girly Hats
the gateway pundit ^ | 10/28/13 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/28/2013 1:26:29 PM PDT by cotton1706

The US Marines decided to nix the girly hats following the reports last week that the Corps was considering implementing unisex hats for men and women. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos has put an end to the matter. “The survey was incorrect when published and has been pulled. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover,” he said in a statement Friday.

Changing the hat design has been a decade-long process of military boards, field trials and prototypes. A Marine spokesman said the impetus for a potential unisex design was simple: “the manufacturer of the female cover is going out of business…a lot of uniform items aren’t cost effective to make,” he said.

These type of unpopular changes don't last. The Army got rid of the berets too...finally.

The thing is, this is not the end of it.

The idea was to get rid of male/female divides, to push that agenda that men and women are completely the same in every way and its bigoted to divide them.

They got a backlash this time, but what about next time, or the time after that? They’re softening people, getting them used to seeing these kind of feminization techniques. It’s conditioning, and as we all know, the left NEVER gives up, it is tireless!

We don’t call the ‘hats’ we call them ‘covers’.

And one we call a ‘pisscutter’............

Yeah, well no matter what they do, men’s and women’s bodies are not going to be the same. And the clothing to fit them won’t be either.

Yeah, women in combat - no problem, but don’t you dare make men wear the same hats.

Off topic a bit. But has anyone had trouble getting their meds from the VA?

Next will be a unisex bra that all men and women will be required to wear.

Communists do not have to plan their society around those silly little things you call ‘facts’! This is utopianism!

That is a sad fact. Nobody even cared about putting women in the hands of Al Qaeda and enemies that do the most horrible things to prisoners of war, but the hat change was too far! America needs to wake up.

The Army got rid of the berets too...finally.

Some Clintonoid general wanted all troops wearing it as part of a warm-fuzzy esprit d'corps exercise - except that they settled for a ridiculous looking beret instead of the smart-looking Ranger and Airbone berets. The queers at the pentagon probably thought the new berets looked fabulous.

My facility is in out-state Minnesota.

If the company making the female hats is going out of business, make them wear the men’s “covers”. Why would the male majority be forced to wear a feminized version?

Yep, and I notice you tactfully declined to mention what else they were called... ;-)

Too bad about the Marine cover, though. I thought they looked...fabulous.

Certainly looked “manly” on Bradley (ohh my miss— excuuuse me “Chelsea”) Manning— not. This creep is doing 35 years- up for parole in eight for God’s sake... and insisting on the US paying for “her” gender change operations and psych crap. Lord, what leadership that would put someone of this makeup in a place with national security exposure.
