Marine Corps cover issue update.

yeah....they were never planning on changing the male cover...
How can you tell when someone is lying?  When they keep changing their fucking story.

We've all been fed a hodge podge of news today when it comes to the Marine Corps cover issue.

1.  First we heard from the asshole at the Business Insider that the story was complete bullshit.  The little bastard failed to grasp the reality of the situation and promptly bought hook line and sinker the idiocy that the Marine Corps Public Affairs Officer fed him.  He never questioned what "Obama's Intent" was.

2.  Next we heard that the Marine Corps wasn't going to change the Male Marines cover but was only looking to change the female cover.

3.  We were then told (when people asked if the male cover wasn't going to be changed then why did they have a Male Marine modeling the female Marine cover) that the Navy Sec stated that he wanted unisex uniforms because he wanted to see Marines, not Marines divided by sex.

Now they've married up all the bullshit and stated that they heard the public loud and clear and that the Male Marine cover is not going to change and that they're going to consider slightly modifying the Male cover to suit female Marines.

Some of you said the story was bullshit but failed to follow it closely.  Open your eyes and see how you've been spun.  They reversed themselves because the survey became public and the outcry was too intense for a weakened Amos to carry out the orders of his daddy.

The BOY at the Business Insider obviously thinks like he's part of the club instead of being a reporter.  He'll mature out of that but today is not that day.  He got used, some of you were fooled and this non story turns out to be true.

Pound sand bitches.

NOTE:  The revolt of the Marines has begun.  This might seem like a non-issue to some but if you look carefully you're seeing a force that is pushing back at leadership.  A cover?  You might say no big deal, but uniforms are important and Marines are saying we will not be molded into a feminine looking, sissified image that someone like Huron Serenity might be attracted to.

  1. That WW1 cap looks very similar, it is black which looks sharper I might add but the shape is very close.

  2. And then there's the DOD angle, which is the Marine HQ story--
    news report
    . . .Additionally, Marine Corps and other services have been asked by the DoD to find a unisex option for a dress and service cover as a cost-saving measure, Marine spokesman Lt. Col. Neil Murphy said.

    * Transitioning = retiring?? Is that the new word for retiring? Murphy's got over 22 years.
    * "DoD Cost saving measure" sounds like Murphy's contribution, shaping groups etc.

  4. I don't have a concern one way or the other, if I might say, the problem I have isn't with the unisex hats shape or color, it just looks real small for a man's head. Just as I might add, the current hat size for woman looks too big! As I mentioned, in the article I provided, it looks very similar to the WW1 hat which looks sharp but it is black, with probably a different material than what is used today, I don't know about that.

    This guy was a bad ass, seems to been one heck of a leader, I forgot he's the guy that yelled:" "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?"at Belleau Woods. One hell of a line!

  6. I just noticed the Marine with the "normal" cover is a decorated combat vet, and the young Cpl (who has never been deployed, nor has his good cookie, so straight boot, nco) is wearing a female Marine cover. I wonder if the enlisted Marine who prepared the material did that on purpose...

    1. i just think that a Marine that had any time in the Corps would politely refuse to have his picture taken. can you imagine what that poor guy must be going through? he is the new face for the attempted feminization of the Marine Corps. his life must be hell.

  7. Marines Decide on Men's Caps for Everyone 16 Nov 2013 Stars and Stripes| by Jennifer Hlad
    http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/11/16/marines-decide-on-mens-caps-for-everyone.html
    "It's official: The Marines will not be wearing "girly hats" after all.

    The Commandant of the Marine Corps on Friday approved a recommendation from the service's uniform board to adopt the men's dress and service cap for all Marines.

    Female Marines currently wear a different style of cover than male Marines with their dress and service uniforms. The manufacturer of the women's covers is going out of business, Marines said, so the uniform board sent out a survey to determine whether Marines preferred to adopt the male cover as the universal cover or to change the cover for all Marines to a style similar to that worn in the early 1900s...."
