Army ROTC program allegedly pressured cadets to walk in high heels for ASU event
The Washington Times ^ | April 21, 2015 | Douglas Ernst

Army ROTC cadets are complaining on message boards that they were pressured to walk in high heels on Monday for an Arizona State University campus event designed to raise awareness of sexual violence against women.

The Army openly encouraged participating in April’s “Walk A Mile in Her Shoes” events in 2014, but now it appears as though ROTC candidates at ASU were faced with a volunteer event that became mandatory.

“Attendance is mandatory and if we miss it we get a negative counseling and a ‘does not support the battalion sharp/EO mission’ on our CDT OER for getting the branch we want. So I just spent $16 on a pair of high heels that I have to spray paint red later on only to throw them in the trash after about 300 of us embarrass the U.S. Army tomorrow,” one anonymous cadet wrote on the social media sharing website Imgr, IJReview reported Monday.

Another posting about the walk.

These walks have occurred over the past year or so in various locations.

That is usually the case. (Except for the Duke noose. That one is well and truly down the Memory Hole.)

The commander knows that the women don’t measure up and to appear equal they must wear heels.

Many American women have been led to believe they are unequal and must wear “heels” to compensate. The feeling of inadequacy is centuries old with Marie Antoinette pictured wearing heels

Clearly it is time for there to be a massive purge of the US Army officer corps. And if they are senior officers involved in this crap, they should be stripped of any retirement and other benefits with their dismissal.

If they protest, it will be annotated in their records, “For engaging in acts incompatible with good order and discipline”, without any other explanation.

The US congress has exclusive authority to determine the composition of the US military. Article 1, Section 8: “To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces.”

This means that if congress chooses to, it can legally exclude LGBTs and any individual not physically or mentally able to perform the military mission, as well as those who “lack character”.

This includes officers who acted to undermine the morale and discipline of the military.

And their dismissal should serve as a warning to others in the future.

Wearing high heels is one of the most ignorant things a woman does to her body. It’s akin to the Chinese tradition of binding the feet into a gnarled up stub in the name of “beauty”.

The cadets should have refused, period.

Excellent observation! The Conservative that we nominate needs to pick up on this.

This is nothing less then feminists trying to feminize our men and emasculate them at the same time. ROTC cadets are a captive audience. They wouldn't think of doing this on their own accord. It is humiliation, pure and simple.

Where are the military MEN in the chain-of-command to not only STOP this nonsense but FIRE the feminist a$$hole who told them they had to do it? Are they wearing high heels too?

There seems to be one feminist, General Peggy Combs, behind this planned humiliation and deliberate emasculation of the troops.

As far as I'm concerned, she's a traitor practicing psyops to sabotage morale. She's a disgrace to her uniform.

Look at the pathetic masculinity punishment picture below, and then ask Vladimir Putin if I'm right - once he stops laughing.

“Wearing high heels is one of the most ignorant things a woman does to her body.”

It makes them look sexy. Do you want women walking around in sensible shoes? Really? Who wants to see that? It makes their posture attractive, and makes them wiggle the way I like.

This is not a lawful order. It is an order to violate the dress code. As it is in conflict with a standing order it is not a lawful order and is not to be obeyed.

Your opinion, your like, your desire, foot fetish or otherwise but women are still stupid to destroy their feet to turn you or anyone else on. If they want to do that then fine, but I know too many women who bitch and moan about their broken feet but refuse to stop wearing the heels.

Hell, 16 inch waist corsets and big skirts used to turn guys on too. I’m in my 60’s and I’ve always looked on the desire to see women in heels as something for geezers, my father’s generation. I personally like a well turned ass in tight pants or jeans; or skimpy to nothing. When it gets to the real attraction, shoes are off the list.

Oh well, have fun watching all the women in heels, more power to you.

Welcome to Obama's military. Convince me this wasn't done as some sort of humiliating joke.
