"The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous."  The thin new hats have a feminine line that some officials think would make them look just as good on female marines as on males - in keeping with the Obama directive.  They have been dubbed the "Dan Daly" hat, after a sergeant from Long Island who won the Medal of Honor in World War I.  But some Marines love the old hat, which has been in use since 1922 and think the new hat is a glorified "porter's cap."  Click for more from The New York Post.
