I too would like to see the documentation that this is a obama initiative. Just about every article I can find about this topic originates in the NY Post, a publication of dubious veracity at best.

There's little doubt the USMC is studying the issue though. They've been looking at changing female uniforms for a few years now. Most renderings I have seen show the women's uniforms looking more male, not vice versa. Check it out: Uniform uniformity: Dress blues wear test could bring servicewide changes | Marine Corps Times | marinecorpstimes.com

I just cannot imagine there is a male Marine anywhere who thinks this particular cover is a good idea. It looks like ass.

Since BHO uses every chance he can to bash the values I have believed in my whole life I look for any excuse to Bash BHO cause it makes me smile. He is progressive scum and he is the worst thing to happen to the USA since LBJ.

So as usual, Fox is completely full of shit.

Its the USMC Commandant that is seeking feedback on new uniforms. Obama didn't have anything to do with it.

This.

There's a lot of things I don't like about Obama, but this is not one of them.

That looks so much better and actually what I wish they would do...the men's dress blues look awesome but the current women's dress blues look like azz. The mandarin collar looks so much more polished for both genders IMHO.

Me, too. I just pray there's still a remnant of America left when he does.
If there is a country left, it'll be broke, demoralized and on the brink of civil war ( if that doesn't start before he's out )

Why would anyone change the look of the Marines at all. They look fantastic. Dress blues are the shit. I don't get it.

There are actually three things on the table for members of the Marine Corps to provide input on: Which cover to wear, whether or not to allow microbraids, and a change to the clothing allowance.

Since the mostly-male Corps is almost certain to vote for the male cover, that's where this is going to end up.

Just another case of Fox manufacturing news rather than reporting it. But it's okay because MSNBC does it, right? Two wrongs make a right?

Honestly I think the putz is a terrorist in a different form. Just continues to destroy things from the inside out.

This change to the Marine uniform is reeeeeeeeDICKulous!
