What Obama really thinks of Marines!

 

President Obama makes U.S. Marine break military rules by holding an umbrella while in uniform...

Looks like Obama thinks the Marines can be used as his own valet service! As Commander and Chief he should know better! Even having them servicing the Turkish Prime Minister! I think that is shameful!  

Even though he is the commander in chief, there are some orders that even President Obama cannot give!

Hosting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Rose Garden today, the president requested a standing Marine to open an umbrella and protect his head from the light rain that was falling. However, according to Marine Corps regulations, not even the President of the United States can request a serving officer to carry an umbrella without the express permission of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corp Manual, which is the bible for all soldiers serving specifically states that the soldiers uniform dress code does not allow the carrying of an umbrella and 'no officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.' Indeed, male Marines are informed never to carry an umbrella from the earliest phases of training. Regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, rules out any use or carrying of an umbrella while a Marine is in uniform.

I like this next picture. Look at Obama’s face! Look at the Marine’s face! Marines work very hard to present themselves as professionals and at the top of their game. This Marine had to achieve a high status within the Corp to be assigned to the White House! Then he is treated like a valet and not as a professional soldier! My take here is Obama’s facial expression shows you someone being very arrogant! He is even trying to adjust how this Marine is holding the umbrella! The Marine’s facial expression tells me his is embarrassed and humiliated! Also I think he has just lost whatever respect he had for the president for this lowly action! I guess we shouldn’t expect more from Obama, remember he let his soldiers die in Benghazi as they pleaded for help!   

 

I think these pictures tell us much about our president! His arrogance! His disrespect for these Marines as individuals and the Marine Corp as a whole!
