Marine umbrella protocol

No, it's not the latest indie band, it's Obama's latest scandal! It seems he asked a Marine to hold an umbrella during a drizzle and Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F says no umbrellas!



I suppose this is something of a faux pass. Freepers cannot help themselves from hyperbolic pettiness - turns out Obama is enslaving that poor marine!


Not excerpted on this thread, a self-indulgent "no YOU love America more" exchange.

Diogenesis sees thus as the latest tyranny:
Koran trumps Constitution.

Whim trumps Regulations.

No more Law. Just Tyranny and NO DOCUMENTATION.
onyx knows real men get wet because Reagan did once!
Sacajaweau explains the magnitude of this:
No different than Obama saying....”Kiss my shoes”. He just loves being Massa. Obama is rotten to the core.
Forty-Niner also with the Marines are slaves bit:
Marines suffer greatly when assigned to a Democrat controlled White House. They are treated like house slaves by Democrats. Only in Republican Administrations are they accorded the respect due them.

Is it any wonder that Marine’s vote 95%+ Republican? Or that Democrats always try to suppress their absentee votes?
originalbuckeye on Obama's many sins in that press conference:
He has no class, no conscience and no core. Eastwood was right.......nothing but an empty suit. (PS-If the flipping press conference had started on time, they wouldn't have been caught in the rain. But Obama has no respect for anyone else's time. Obama Flexible Standard Time is the only time that matters to him)
llevrok knows the press hates the rain:
My tin foil hat self thinks The One was watching a storm front approaching in order to time the event when the skies opened, thereby avoiding the press' questions.
Argus knows what this is just like:
Right up there with Caligula ordering his legions to collect seashells in their helmets as spoils of war in his victory over Neptune.
1_Rain_Drop sees the silver lining:
I didn’t know a Marine couldn’t carry an umbrella.
Since this Marine held one in his right hand, there’s no way he could have saluted the usurper.
SECURE AMERICA:
Obama is such a pansy.
Was he afraid the black would wash off?
Obama is such an embarrassment to the Office of the President and to America.
Mount Athos Benghazis all over the place:
No one needs to say anything to establish the fact that the Marines are a kind of sacred institution.

People who care about the country can’t help but feel it in their bones.

The president left Marines to die doing their duty in Benghazi, fighting desperately to save the Ambassador. From him or by his neglect a stand down order was sent twice.

Maybe this Marine with the umbrella was thinking the whole time about the Marines left to die fighting at the Embassy.

Obama uses Marines as a shoe shine boy and as a Hollywood party prop for his wife (remember that?).
There were no Marines killed in Benghazi, but forget it - he's rolling.

  1. No Marine protocol says they can't hold an umbrella over a president. I believe the "no umbrellas" thing only applies to holding it for themselves. The only Marine protocol that applies in this instance is, if the president asks you to do something, you do it.

  2. Oh, and by the way, Marines held umbrellas for the last three Republican presidents, which includes Reagan:
