US Marines Turn Up Noses at Obama's New 'Girly Hats' - washingtontimes.com:
"Marines are decrying a new look President Obama has planned for their uniforms
— namely, a unisex-style cap that they say looks more French than
American, more “girly” than hard-charging."
One former marine put it this way:
"Imagine you’re President Obama...You decide to take a Presidential trip to some steel mill to blame
somebody for something, but you know you’re going to have to pass them to
get on the plane. They stand straight as a bayonet on the tarmac, their
impeccable uniforms standing out in stark relief against the white of
the helicopter. The brass on their belts and covers shines like gold,
their shoes like black mirrors... Their salute is pure snap-and-pop, the
product of years of living a disciplined, purposeful life...And you have to salute these men back. And it
galls you, to the deepest pit of your soul, because you know that when
you salute those Marines standing by that helicopter, you’re actually
saluting better men than yourself...So what do you do? Do you simply accept that you’re merely the
President, salute the better man, and move on? No. You figure out a way
to make them look ridiculous. That way, when you pass them, you can
remind yourself how fortunate you are that you don’t have to dress like
that. It’ll make the saluting easier the next time you have to go on an
extended Blame-A-Thon. Dress them up in pink pajamas if you like, Mr. President. They’re still better than you’ll ever be." [Emphasis mine] (from The Corps and the Presidential Inferiority Complex - redstate.com)
