Why is the Government Insisting on This?

In the midst of the debt ceiling debate, shutting down the government for two weeks, with the result of setting up another debt ceiling debate in February, our government, under the leadership of our current President, deems the following to be important. I hope you, dear readers, don't need further comment from me on this. I hope you understand that, while we can dismiss this as trivial, it belies an insistence on men and women being not equal but "the same." And I hope you understand, using your reason, how utterly absurd that idea is.

A change to the Marine Corps’ uniform hats could take the hard-nosed Leathernecks from the Halls of Montezuma to the shops of Christopher Street.

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.”

The thin new covers have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males — in keeping with the Obama directive.
