Marine Corps' new hats controversy

I don't know why Fox News are grumbling about this:

The diameter of the new hats is much smaller, and it will be easier now to stick one's head into an oven (to take one example), if the laughter in the streets will become too much for a Marine to bear...

So there.

I should Google it but I'm going to be lazy like everyone else and just say that I have always heard that those saucer caps were adoptions from the German military, particularly the Nazis. The smaller hats seem odd but they were the old norm. Might be true. You could look it up. Or I could...

The current once actually look more or less like hats everywhere else, while these new ones simply look funny. There will definitely be a period of laughs on that account.

This is not Righteous indignation, this should be termed pouting indignation, with a distinct quivering lower lip, dripping with Crocodile tears...

Dick - yeah whatshisname will continue to fester. Someone tried to persuade me that while Elint can be 'forgiven', Humint is a cardinal sin.

"Humint is a cardinal sin". Yeah. About 200 or more years ago spying was considered by military as a lowly and despised business, and spies were hanged on the spot if caught.
