Well done, Fox News! A Two-fer: an article headline intended to attack the President, and the Marines are getting sissy-fied!
Except, let's ignore the facts or logic (as usual for Fox News)
1) The President DOES NOT make uniform decisions, the individual services do. The President justs makes adjustments and approves their budget; fashion isn't a part of that equation.
2) It's cheaper to have one style of cover designed to fit ALL Marines than to design and purchase two separate covers based on sex. This is a cost decision for the Marines mostly. (But I do agree with LITS observation that the new cover makes it look like they take your luggage when you check into a first-class Hilton).
Look, the military wants officers who think for themselves based on thorough review of all the sides of the issue. We spend big bucks to get you tons of information, so use it before you make leaps of judgement and poor conclusions. Take this to heart in your daily activities as well, and don't just listen / read one side of the aisle's media talking heads only before sounding off on the "injustices" of the world. I HATE MSNBC as well, but I also hate Fox News for the same reasons, and frankly, Al Jazeera America is getting my Neilson ratings more and more, mostly because of all the US cable news channels, THEIRS is the most balanced. And isn't that a shame?
If this keeps up, I may just start having to post links to news articles from MoveOn.org on this site for more balance.
