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.
“We don’t even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women’s hats!” one senior Marine source fumed to The Post. “The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous.”

Glad to see he's focusing on the important stuff.
It's surely a sign of the End Times.
Now we know what El Jefe was concentrating on rather than all that boring stuff about Syria and Iran.
Unisex uniforms for Uncle Sam's Misguided Children? Feh.
Every single action by Obama is designed to weaken and destroy the U.S.A.
I don't understand why so many Americans meekly go along with this obviously illegitimate and treasonous administration.
Where are the American patriots, especially in the Republican party?

Looks a bit like the Kepi Blanc the French Foreign Legion wears. If that was on minds of the designers, it should be seen as a badge of honor.
Deborah ... Perhaps he is sending a hint to the Project Runway folks. Doesn't need to. Just give them a call and they'll book him.
It's surprising that there isn't a Obama clothing line. Uhm umm umm umm.
Well, at least he's not golfing.
I'd love to hear a Marine say, "With all due respect, Mr. President...No!" Chesty Puller would have.

Mais le nouveau chapeau pour les hommes rompt une tradition américaine honorable.
And here's Obama's new training video:

They bear a striking resemblance to the hats the high school marching band wore when my mother was in school...
Should try a version of the USMC Civil War shako:
