Obama wants Marines to wear �girly� hats
The old hats (left) compared to the new ones (right).

A change to the Marine Corps� uniform hats could take the hard-nosed Leathernecks from the Halls of Montezuma to the shops of Christopher Street.

Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a �unisex� look for the Corps, officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines� iconic caps with a new hat that some have derided as so �girly� that they would make the French blush.

�We don�t even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women�s hats!� one senior Marine source fumed to The Post. �The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous.�

The thin new hats have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males � in keeping with the Obama directive.

One of the new hats worn by a female Marine.

They have been dubbed the �Dan Daly� hat, after a sergeant from Long Island who won the Medal of Honor in World War I.

But some Marines love the old hat, which has been in use since 1922 and think the new hat is a glorified �porter�s cap.�

�The Dan Daly cap looks too French, and the last people we want to associate our Marines with would be the French military,� wrote one commenter on the Marine Times Web site.

As of now, the new hats are only in the proposal stage.

Officials have until Friday to cast their votes on whether to adopt them or keep the old hat with modifications. Marine Corps head Gen. James Amos will make the final decision.

According to a memo obtained by The Post, replacing the hats could cost over $8 million.

A poll of a Marine uniform advisory board found that �The group members did not like the appearance of the Dan Daly cap on the male Marine.�

Transformational change comes in all forms. Elections matter.
Those 4 million who stayed home in protest to Romney should be proud of themselves.
Our dictator particularly dislikes the military.

The queers will love them . . . I really don't give a hoot since I have long flushed the Corps from my memory.

Alright, I finally found a picture. They are talking about the dress blues cover, the iconic white, ring top cover.

This isn't everyday BDU cover, not the green envelope, just the white "hat".

Which most Marines get to wear maybe once a year at best (USMC ball)



Yawn....

Full Dress Blues?? I don't now USMC protocols, but that is the only uniform the Army has where the actual decorations(medals to the unanointed) are worn rather than the ribbons. For that once a year occasion stay with the traditional. AND the camel's nose will be farther under the tent if this change is put in place.

Dude on the far right looks like a chick, Keep the bus driver cap, get rid of that porter bullschit! How the fug can they justify this new hat when they can't even pay for beans and bullets...AYFKM

I think the change is crap but what do I know.

I'm with ND ^^

Change is inevitable

Looks like it is for the Browns too Dave

See what happens when you tell four million of us you don't need our vote to stay home!

The male model on the right has more make up on the than the women.

It starts with the dress cover and works it's way down to the fatigue cover.

thats what we always referred to as the "bus driver" hat in the the AF. wore it maybe twice after basic. still have it 30 years later. still hate it. c*nt cap was everyone's hat of choice unless told otherwise.

I don't like the new cover, but I have a hard time pushing this one off onto the President of the United States.

Rememebr when shinseki made all of the army switch to the Rangers black beret. that sucked ass, and they are back to the Patrol Cap again. How much was wasted there.

uni-sex hat? I thought that was the Beret. Sorry I couldn't help myself. miles

I always called the beret a [bleep] hat anyway.

I wish someone would cover his head with a 5 gallon bucket of schit while hanging a jump boot in his ass.

He's such a [bleep] retard and knows nothing about tradition or what these things mean.

[bleep] pot head commie

For Hell's sake, will you read the damn article? Second paragraph down clearly states it is Obama's idea: "Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a �unisex� look for the Corps..."

This is not about the appearance of the Marine uniform, it is about the Dictator-in-Chief egotistally exerting his authority over the military, just because he can and just because, like all liberals, he hates the military with a passion.

What's the 8 million for?
When I was in, I had to buy my own.
Are they given out now?
