Yes, that's right. Obama, who of course personally oversees military dress codes, decided to effeminize our fighting men and women and weaken our image abroad by designing silly new hats for them to wear, according to Fox News. Aside: is "effeminize" even a real word? idk, but I'm running with it here anyway.

Obama wants Marines to wear ‘girly’ hats



Look how girly they look! Especially the one on the left! These silly hats are supposedly based on a hat design worn by Sgt. Maj. Dan "Sissy-Boy" Daly, who won the Medal of Honor twice and famously yelled “Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?” as he led a charge against the Huns in WWI wearing a silly hat and a pink sun dress.



Of course, lefty liberal mouthpiece Stars and Stripes is trying to cover for the administration by claiming that Obama had absolutely dick to do with the change.

I'm sure Obama didn't have anything to do with it(I'd think military hats should be about 2500 on his list of priorities). But who did and why would you want to change the marines dress hats? I thought their covers always looked pretty sharp.

Colbert's segment on this was really good.

The US military spends an INSANE amount of time and money fiddling with uniforms and dress codes. But it pays off, bc they can totally blend in this couch:

lol wow. lol murica

lol lol murica

Just hit me who the new hat looks like Charles de Gaulle!! maybe inspector Clouseau.

Important politics aside, **** those new stupid covers. C'mon you sons of bitches, don't you want your new dumb idiot cover. Chesty Puller would be rolling in his grave if he wasn't so busy being awesome.

They look exactly the same

fyp

No. they might look alike to someone who doesn't know wtf they're talking about, just like OJ and Mt Dew is alike to someone else who doesn't know wtf he's talking about.

Boom, tables turned.

All services should get rid of any type of headgear in dress uniform and either none or ball caps for field uniform.

Whateva, Chef Boyardee.

Just issue the guys vaginas to even the playing field. Those things are tough, can take a real pounding.

You need to stop posting during recess and work on your ****ing multiplication tables.

This could be cross posted in multiple threads as it touches on so much:
(1) Death of the Republican Party - cause this is the kind of crap that they focus on to feed their froth. It also shows how childish and neanderthal they feel their demographic is. This isn't quite as bad as freedom fries but same ballpark.
(2) Fox news thread on why they're such a crappy network. First, its an outright lie if you believe the military (and have common sense). To believe that the President is involved with the design of the uniforms... its beyond asinine. You'd like to think their viewers would see through it but I'm sure they know their crowd best. (for some reason comments are disabled. I'm sure there would have been some laughs to be found there)

Similarly, I heard a snippet of some story too about Limbaugh freaking out that football players are wearing pink to raise awareness about cancer. just looked it up and copied this headline from Media Matters:

This is the kind of neanderthal thinking that drives so much of the right and, I believe, keeps them from expanding their audience. Who can want to associate with these idiots?

Ha. Went to Freeper site. Knew it would have some laughs. I started out pleasantly surprised to see an ex military man posting that the story was ridiculous. On further inspection, I see that its just a post of an editoria from Business Insider. It reads:

At any rate, I thought this was a promising start. Then I read some of the comments:

My favorite:
I can't decide if reading the Freeper site is healthy. Sometimes I laugh. Then I get depressed. These are some of the dumbest people on earth.

On a positive note, it makes me realize in comparison how much lower the ****** population is here.

I'm impressed with the Thomas Beckett reference, tbh.

Will no one rid me of these turbulent hats?
