C'mon muse, never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
What truth? The nincompoop who made that Photoshop is too stupid to know the difference between a Marine and an Army uniform!

No, more like the Marine Corps Manual is correct and the spokesperson is wrong.
Read it for yourself.

I knew quite well that both were army uniforms. Does that make any difference? Is somebody a lesser being for there service in another branch?
My personal opinion is that any president that has to have a slave hold his umbrella is a twit and I think they're all a-holes, but trying to make the argument that's been floating around the internet about this being some sort of scandal is absurd.

So I guess Commander in Chief does not classify as a "higher authority" then?
The USMC serves as an expeditionary force-in-readiness. As outlined in 10 U.S.C. § 5063 and as originally introduced under the National Security Act of 1947, it has three primary areas of responsibility: The seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and other land operations to support naval campaigns; The development of tactics, technique, and equipment used by amphibious landing forces in coordination with the Army and Air Force; and Such other duties as the President may direct.

I think "umbrella holder" would fall under other duties

Do you have a Section and Paragraph that changes or amends Section 2806, Paragraph 2 of the Marine Corps Manual?

Why do you think it needs to be amended? Why ignore "other duties as required"?
What about marines carrying wooden steps, where is that in the manual?

What are you talking about? Is there some regulation forbidding male Marines from carrying wooden steps like there is for Marines carrying an umbrella?

Yes, I understand what you're saying. Personally, I think we (the US) should be exploring, working, researching, developing, and focusing on ALTERNATIVE energy sources, and not "oil" - it's clear as glass to me that 'oil' is a huge factor in the current unrest all over the globe.

That is what I am asking, so where does it state marines can carry wooden steps
....edit on 19-5-2013 by hellobruce because: (no reason given)
So I don't see how you can lay the blame on Obama while you are just as much a part of the problem
Yes.
Should everyone be recalled?
It's a hard picture to read. It's almost as if the President exists to distract Americans from the real culprits in American politics, the legislators.
