I think it only really stops when Murdoch owns all of the news outlets. |

When I was in, (USAF) we all took the band out of our hats to give them the "Crush" look. The Marines hated us for it. They thought the "squared away" stiff look was the only thing. Silly thing, but they earned the right to wear it the way they want. |

As the world crumbles around us, it's nice to see somebody taking care of the important stuff. Obama implements, and Murdoch reports!

I think the hats in those photos all look stupid. I don't see anything manly or girly about any of them, and I also think they all look unisex, so do not understand the need for a change there. |

I don't see why they feel the need to insult the French. At least they showed up to the last two wars on freaking time. |

When calculating the full life-cycle cost they should include the cost to fix it when the next CINC moves in. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

For a person in the military, their's nothing quite as demoralizing as having to wear foolish looking hats. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I'm not sure why we have to pay for hats at all. Helmets? Of course. But hats? Bag 'em. |

It's not that they showed up on time, it's that they bailed out on one of them. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

That was more of a charitable gesture to allow America to repay it's debt for the French support for the bad guys in the war of Western aggression. |
