For those of you not in the loop of Marine Corps drama, there was quite an uproar a few weeks ago because an order came down that Marines will no longer be allowed to fold up their uniform sleeves. Most of you are probably thinking, "Who cares?" but the Marines are not happy about this change, nor are their wives/girlfriends/partners/significant others (it is the NEW Marine Corps, after all...I'm trying to be PC.) The Marines are trying to come up with all kinds of reasons why this sleeves down policy is a terrible idea--it's too hot, it goes against tradition, it's an exercise in discipline to make sure those darn sleeves are rolled exactly right, etc.... But what it really comes down to is that the sleeves up just looks really cool...and they don't want to lose any of their coolness or possibly be confused for the Army! (gasp!) Don't believe me, see for yourself....
