From Leather Necks to Powder Puffs

The Department of Defense has a tremendous budget and an enormous staff because they have the duty to defend our borders.  They must provide training in all kinds of modern hardware, make sure all billets are filled, that officers and men are competent in their jobs and the U.S. is ready for anything.  A huge undertaking. 
So why is the Department engrossed in changing the head-wear of the Marine Corps?  Yes, you heard right!  They are in the planning stage of changing the Marine Cap from the traditional cap they have worn to a "Unisex" cap.  That's right, a unisex cap.  And guess what?  It looks just like the female Marine cap.  Now when this happens do we call them "Leather Necks" or (fill in the blank)?
Now the Corps is made up of 92% male and they have along and proud record and I wonder what effect will this have on morale?  Oh, by the way, the cost is in the millions when they are shorting weapon systems.
