The marine made a big deal about holding an umbrella for Obama as he spoke at the Rose Garden. He doesn't deserve a salute.

Even if it's not can you blame Obama for thinking it's the same guy? They all dress in those same goofy Sgt. Pepper uniforms.

The difference is that both of those guys are in the Army and this was a Marine. The Marines have a uniform regulation that explicitly forbids male Marines from carrying umbrellas except at the direction of the Commandant of the Marine Corps. There's nothing about superiors to the Commandant (Chief of Naval Operations or POTUS) being able to give the order but it seems pretty specific. The Marines also have a culture and heritage of extreme professionalism when it comes to dress and customs/courtesies so it was probably very difficult for both current and former Marines to see Obama as anything but improper in that situation.

My guess is that Obama had no idea of the regulation. I served for 4 years in a different service and umbrellas were NBD, although I almost never used them.

Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which states that members of the Marine Corps shall “perform such other duties as the President may direct.” overrules all this bs.

Either way, they aren't prohibited from holding umbrellas for others, just themselves.

Yeah, I think it was silly. If the Commandant can tell you to hold a fucking umbrella, then the POTUS can. A lot of the anti-Obama stuff that relates to the military is totally illogical to me. He's pretty hawkish and military spending is still churning along.

is there a site or something that translates these things for the rest of us. Most of the time I have no idea what this critters are so upset about.
