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.
I’m surprised some dunderhead in the White House hasn’t proposed a Zouave uniform for elite military forces including a red fez.
Luckily the decision makers learned about combat from the "Warfighting" MCWP instead of actually being engaged. That gunfire and those IED explosions way off in the distance outside the wire sure add to the "realism" while reading the manual.
Fleet dodgers and AA highers.

His boss will still have the last word on this matter.
And if he decides that all military personnel will wear dunce caps, it will happen.

We don’t call the ‘hats’ we call them ‘covers’.
And one we call a ‘pisscutter’............
One we called the flying saucer, the other was the “C”cap which of the two is the pisscutter ? Frankly I prefered the “C”cap easier to handle and travel with.
wait until Preident Clinton gets her claws on the military. They’ll be issuing mandatory maxipads, just to make it fair.
-— 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. -—
This isn’t hyperbole. This is the prevailing Leftist/materialist dogma.
But it’s no less insane than homosexual “marriage.”
Went to reorder today and one I was about out
of wasn`t on my list of meds...a quick call to the
Murfresboro VA and it was straightened out.
Sorry to hear you`re having a problem.
Thanks, I think we have it resolved. Fingers crossed. We never had a problem before. But now with Obama sticking it to everyone... I am a little paranoid I guess.
and a shirt is(or was) a blouse
>> Soon they’ll remove all urinals from the heads...
Then piss on the floor.
The 'C cap'...............
I never liked the ‘other’ word..............
