Outcry at 'French'-looking US Marine hats French General Charles de Gaulle. The new cap proposed is named the 'Dan Daly' after Sgt. Maj. Dan Daly who served during the First World War and famously yelled to his troops "Come on, you sons of b------, do you want to live forever!." The current uniform design has been in place since 1922 and whilst the threat to tradition has been a part of the criticism the main worries are over the appearance and the cost. One senior Marine source commented to the New York Post: "We don't even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women's hats! The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous. One critic of the proposed changes commented on the Marine Times website "That's all we need ... Marines looking like the French in Kepi's." Kepis are a type of cap with a flat circular top traditionally associated with the French military and police. Another added: "Why not just put them all in pink camo? Just leave well enough alone! Men are men and women are women, is there something wrong with that? Surveys will be distributed across the Corps to gather opinion and the Uniform Board will convene on October 29 that will take the survey into account. A final decision will be made by Marine Corps head Gen. James Amos.
