Full title:CLASS ACT: President Trump Picks Up Marine’s Hat and Puts It Back On His Head After the Wind Carries It Away (VIDEO)

Saturday, President Trump picked up the hat of a Marine that was blown off due to the turbulence from the President’s helicopter.

As the President approached Marine One at Andrews Air Force Base just outside D.C. after returning home from Hamburg, he bent over and picked up a Marine’s white hat that blew off his head and onto the ground amid turbulence from the helicopter. Trump placed the hat on the Marine’s head and patted him on the arm, but immediately after doing so, the wind carried the hat off again.

The President chased down the hat for the Marine and returned it to him once again. Total class act.

Changing what you call something does not change it's nature.

Spent time in the Corps? It is a cover to a Marine just like the place he pisses is a head. Just because you are a civilian doesn't change the nature of things that are used by Marines. Heads existed long before toilets.

Anyone with personal experience, or with family in the Navy or the Corps knows the proper name for these things; likewise with the other branches.

The military has time-honored words for objects; it brings uniformity, which is crucial in battle. For civilians to double-down on hubris-inspiried expectations that they can or should be called something else is dishonorable.

On windy days like that, maybe the Marines there should wear a "cover" with some kind of chin strap on it...

Tell it to the Marines, I'm sure they will give it the attention the suggestion deserves

Well, it would have saved that Marine from an embarrassing situation.

Nothing embarrassing about it for the Marine, I doubt the President called him a dumbass. Probably get some shiite for it back at the barn, but how many guys get their cover returned by the CINC along with a pat on the arm?

No, that uniform isn't made for everyday wear in bad weather conditions. If the cover is worn correctly, it will get blown off. While my squid brethren would refer to us as jarheads, there is no way to screw that POS to our BHG.

LOL! Great post! And as Rush Limbaugh always says, all good humor contains an element of truth to it.

I do.

You were the guys all up in the air and harping about someone calling a hat a hat.

Such things were invented by civilians.

Who ever invented it, gets to name it.

Quit being such a child.

Heads invented by civilians? Military headgear? Learn some history, and quit being a dickhead.
