The Department of Defense is suggesting that the U.S. Marine Corps replace their iconic caps [above left] with a new “unisex” style [above right] that some service members describe as “girly.”
“We don’t even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DOD is pushing to spend $8 million on coves [caps] that look like women’s hats!” one senior Marine source told The New York Post. “The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous.”The idea is to update the almost century-old design to something appropriate for both men and women, pursuant to an Obama administration directive."
