Making the general public aware about tough issues that need addressing is obviously a good thing. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about doing it. A Reddit post supposedly containing a message from the cellphone of a cadet has raised questions concerning an allegedly mandatory ROTC event. In the “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event, cadets were required to wear high heels and march to “raise awareness of sexual assault against women.”

"It is a disgrace to everyone who has ever worn the uniform. How did someone like this ever get command? Disgusting!"

I believe the agenda was set a long while ago, and there are rewards for patience... sigh.

You're not weak... just young, I suspect.

I was young once. A long time ago.

It's nice to remember the dalliances with unsuitable women. Just every now and then, mind you.

We Irish are not well-known for patience. Long-suffering, yes, patience—not so much.

They will be held accountable—in this life or the next— but it still infuriates me...

:) What’s even worse is the bat of an eyelash by the right gal and I could be Marxist overnight :( I’m weak!!!"

You must be with a very beautiful woman with very beautiful eyes... stay strong. Somehow I think you will... ha ha - men - it's the eyes every time...

This is what I remind myself - God is still on His throne, evil will always have its day, our faith will see us through, I believe, to victory.

Noooo...but you should banish her... ;)

Find a real conservative woman!

Funny, we are looking for a townhouse, and I admit I use racial slurs too often, not proud of it, and she hates it, but when it came time to look at neighborhoods, I saw cheap and beautiful places and said lets go look. But she saw black neighborhood and said no.
So who’s the racist?

[Gritty]

This is just so much sh!t...

[krunkygirl]

You are waking up...keep your eyes and ears open...you are potentially talking about your partner for life...

thanks for the heads up

If Brigadier General Peggy Combs shows such poor judgement in something as simple as a parade, perhaps she should be removed before she makes an error that costs lives. Idiot.

[Myrddin]

The bastard that attempted that with me would end the day beheaded or shot at the first opportunity. Perhaps the officer that ordered it as well.

[Disambiguator]

What’s next? Mandatory homosexual sexual encounters to raise awareness of the sexual lives of perverts?

Today's satire is tomorrow's policy. I'm certain this is in the works.

I would have refused to wear heels.

One is an airborne badge and the other is an air-assault badge.

She is in charge of U.S. Army Cadet Command. She overseas all ROTC programs. The bulk of all future Army officers will be trained according to her guidelines, and her priorities will be instilled in them. She is in a position to have influence over potential officers who defy her "vision" being "weeded out".

She most definitely will be costing lives by driving out "warriors" with stunts like the "marching in heels" drill, and working to retain and promote people who have no business in a real army.

[PLMerite]

That’s so wrong. Everyone knows with the combat uniform they’re authorized to wear flats.

[CatherineofAragon]

Dang, he sure did!

Including my father who as a Marine was confident enough in himself that this would not have bothered him at all. Not everything is an insult, or an affront.
