    Maybe so but it's looks like we'll never see any cohesive counter argument from you.

    Sorry if we don't just take your word for it.

    Absolutely terrible looking covers!

    No offense to the FDNY, but they look like the FDNY hats.

    :thumbsdown:

    He wants to do anything he can to defecate on Americans, America, our Country, our Government, our Constitution and our noble and treasured traditions and cultural institutions.

    Stop him as soon as possible.

    But, no violence, please.

    EDIT: I just realized it is a goof story.

    But everything else I said still applies!

    Well this is about what was expected when they ended 'don't ask, don't tell'...The one military branch that worked will look like extras for a Foreign Legion movie from the silent age...

    Well . . . aside from a breathtaking degree of incompetence never before seen behind the desk of the Oval Office it looks like Obama's only successful signature move will be to emasculate the uniformed appearance of one of the traditionally toughest and competent fighting forces on Earth. I say let him have this 'triumph' and also in the future let voting members of the military branches have motivation for . . . voting.

    Some of the quotes in the article alluded to being 'issued' these clothing items when there's not enough money for anything else. You purchase your own uniform in the military. Clothing companies bid on the ability to be the official supplier of such clothes, but the purchase is done by the service member, so part of this was quoting people that weren't honest.

    Sure . . . but notice that not even Obama supporters denied that it was something that Obama would TRY to do if he could. That tells you something about the real Obama that people are finally beginning to know and loathe . . . on the Left.

    Listen, the story is satire. The president is not trying to make Marine covers unisex. Beyond that, I don't care what your impressions are of otehr folks.

    One more time.

    The story is satire. This has been proven. A bunch of right wing blogs and some tabloids fell for it.

    One more time. The story is satire. The Marines themselves have made it clear the president has nothing to do with deciding on uniforms.

    While it is true the President does not have anything to do with approving uniforms, anyone who has ever served knows senior officers in every service are politicians first and soldiers second. Obama has been in office long enough to have the military staffed with mostly his senior officers who can read the political tea leaves...The serving Marines are just lucky they are not to deploy in tutu's and taffeta aiguillettes....

    Yes, I know, the story is satire. I have been saying as much. I have provided citations form the site it originated at and a citation to the Marines saying that the president is not involved in the decision regarding uniforms.

    Translation: Until you checked on it you figured that it really was something that Obama would do if he could do it at all.

    Wow you hold him accountable for not denying fake stories. I guess you think Ted Cruz rapes kittens because you never denied it. Why do you think that do you have evidence? I M surprised Cruz rapes kittens.

    Cruz might do just that for all I know about the man's personal habits, but rather than assume that Cruz did do such a thing the average responding conservative would have been defending Cruz until his public habits led them to believe that he might just be capable of doing such a thing after all. Note that responding Obama supporters were NOT denying that making the Marine Corps switch over to the wearing of girly caps was something that he would do if he could? Ouch!

    What is wrong with a classic Wedge one for normal uniform and a dressy one for dress uniforms?
