:hystery: :hystery: :hystery: :hystery:  ..... on another board from northern Phils got into it hot and heavy with most crying that this was started by Obama haters .... as the claim was made that Obama or his wife (who is into design .... yea right .... just look at some of the outfits she wears .... :mocking: ) wanted to humiliate the Corp. and a later post showed that it was supposedly a fake news article started by some writer from the Post ..... (hummmm .... I thought they were for Obama) .... anyway .... 

 

My personal opinion is that if I were still in I would definitely have something to take a big crap in while on manurers ..... errrrrrr .... I mean meneuvers ...  :thumbsup:

It is a lot better than the horrid new uniforms they put on Sailors.   I liked my dungarees!

Unfortunately the "Foreign Legion" is only a shadow of their formal self these days. No more drunken cookie tossing before breakfast with impunity... No more cards through the night... No more replacing the water in our bottles with rum before the big exercise... Oh, wait.... That was what we did in Canada...

Now, back on subject... I saw this one before. Prior to knowing it was a fake photo, I had this thought that "Wow... The Marines are really being dragged down..." I was glad to find out it was fake. It's hard when legends fall... Even when it's just their chapeau!

I think it would be a good idea if that hat was to be used in combat...... Our enemy would be laughing too hard to shoot straight.

Hmmm, the males hat in the dungarees looks girly.  All I can say for those poor lads is thank <insert relevant supreme being here> for - - - - - - -- caps.  Apologies for the harsh language, but that's what we call them here.
