At a time when our Army has only two trained and ready combat Brigades, and our US Marine Corps is about to lose additional combat infantry battalions, armor and towed artillery formations, we are yet reminded where the military priorities lie for President Obama: new hats for the Marines.
I am quite sure the possibility that Marines will have slick new unisex hats is sending chills down the spine of every Islamic terrorist across the globe. The fact that we are investing $8 million for new hats should just make every fashionable American beam with pride.
According to the New York Post:
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 – known as “covers” — with a new version that some have derided as so “girly” that they would make the French blush.
The thin new covers 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.
“The Marine Corps is being ‘encouraged’ by DoD to standardize on a unisex/universal dress and service cap,” Marine brass noted in an internal memo obtained by The Post.
Perhaps this is the flexibility of which President Obama wanted Russian President Vladimir Putin to become aware in his second term? Elections certainly do have consequences and for those who recall, this is reminiscent of former New York City Mayor David Dinkins who ensured the NYPD had “pretty” uniforms. Well, Rudy Guiliani followed Dinkins and cleaned up his mess. Who in God’s name will restore this Republic?
