Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol

 

[Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol] "The commander in chief of the American armed forces today forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he wouldn’t get wet.

According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.

Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal..." Full text:

On second thought maybe the Marine had better hold it.

It's a tough job: "...I've still got 60,000-plus troops in Afghanistan, and I've still got a whole bunch of intelligence officers around the world who are in risky situations..." ~ Barack Obama

Tone-deaf, dumb and blind.

What makes you sad Barbie?

 

"...by bringing up stupid criticisms of the president, they deflect from the real issues concerning his admnistration [sic]. "Umbrellagate" makes people less willing to believe the other stories about the AP, or the IRS."

 

Do you want people to believe the other stories? Would that make you happy?

...[I] have 3 marines and 4 army men and 2 air force men in my family.

According to them, the marines are the one with the male umbrella protocol and the COC should know the protocol, so did the marine offer that umbrella or did the president or his staff demand it.

That's the issue.

Since we are speaking of a Marine holding an umbrella, let us eliminate your sons that are Army/Air Force from the conversation.

In order to intelligently discuss what your Marine sons have said or reported to you we would need more information on them.

How many years of experience do they have, what rank have they attained and what MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) do they serve in?

 

 

Ad hominem

How dare you have an opinion on the matter.

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "The more they try to hype phony "scandals", the greater the inclination of rational people to listen to any scandals at all."

 

Talk about the corruption (e.g. Benghazi, AP, IRS, HHS, EPA, etc. [Am 8:5]). We're all ears.

 

Response to comment [from a Satanist]: "This isn't an issue. Marines are not allowed to carry umbrellas for their own use (female Marines may, in very limited circumstances), but they are authorized to carry out other duties as requested by the president."

 

It looks like his shoes need shining, too Satanist.
