Obama Violated Marine Protocol By Ordering Marine To Shield Him From Rain With Umbrella
As Obama summons U.S. Marines to hold Umbrellas over his ugly head and Turkish PM During Rainy Rose Garden Press Conference......Obama says " they are going to look good next to us."
Obama Violated Marine Protocol By Ordering Marine To Shield Him From Rain With Umbrella
The commander in chief of the American armed forces today forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he wouldn’t get wet.
According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.
Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal.
The relevant portion of the regulation reads, “3035. UMBRELLAS (Female Marines). Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.”
Items not expressly delineated as authorized components of the Marine Corps uniform are prohibited. Male Marines are informed never to carry an umbrella from the earliest phases of training.

Complete disrespect for those Marines and an abuse of power. The Marines aren't there to hold umbrellas. He could have gotten a couple of his flunkies to hold them or he could have been man enough himself and held his own umbrella.
