But the <a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2013\/10\/23\/obama-wants-marines-to-wear-girly-hats\/\">New York Post<\/a> writes that it&#8217;s Obama&#8217;s fault that the Corps might change their head gear, which makes me think it&#8217;s just a line of shit. I don&#8217;t think that the president has anything to do with it;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Thanks to a plan by President Obama to create a \u201cunisex\u201d look for the Corps, officials are on the verge of swapping out the Marines\u2019 iconic caps with a new hat that some have derided as so \u201cgirly\u201d that they would make the French blush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women\u2019s hats!\u201d one senior Marine source fumed to The Post. \u201cThe Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The thin new hats have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males \u2014 in keeping with the Obama directive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whether the story is true or not, and I tend to think it&#8217;s not, I know I wouldn&#8217;t wear that silly-looking thing on my head. I&#8217;m pretty sure that the ladies have to pin it to their head to keep it there because it just looks like it fall off constantly. If it&#8217;s true, the Marines should ask &#8220;Black Beret&#8221; Shinseki how changing head gear works out for their career. Also, if it&#8217;s all true, Marines are going to get the hat;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Marine Corps head Gen. James Amos will make the final decision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, if it&#8217;s all true, you know which way Amos will go.
