Cadets at Temple University were threatened that their careers would be finished if they refused to participate in a feminist campaign to promote the completely debunked college rape culture myth by wearing red spray painted high heels. Imagine what ISIS or the Russian military is thinking when they see these images. Third wave feminism has poisoned EVERYTHING, even the U.S. Military. UPDATE: Infowars was contacted by a former US Army servicemember who told us that his unit – Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment, 172nd Infantry Brigade – was also FORCED to participate in the ‘Walk a Mile in Her Shoes’ event in 2011. “I was deployed in Afghanistan during this time, but my comrades in the rear told me this event was a MANDATORY,” he writes. “As a former medic, I know that the only way out of this was to lie about injuries or pull some form of guard duty at this time.” CLICK FOR ENLARGEMENT.

An unlawful order for a few reasons: First such foot attire while performing military duties is harmful to a Soldier's feet, knees, and back. Second a commander cannot force a Soldier to wear clothing attire of the opposite sex. A commander CAN have a policy describing what 'proper attire' includes on his/her military installation (like no halter tops, cutoff jeans etc.) in public places like the PX or post bank. But he/she cannot prescribe the attire of the opposite sex as mandatory 'uniform' for an official event. If the Soldier, Airmen, Marine or Sailor voluntarily does so, then there is no foul other than destroying over two centuries of military tradition and good order and discipline. Lastly, and most important of the three reasons....This is just plain STUPID. Patton is rolling in his grave. Now I can see most of the Navy doing this voluntarily:)
No "order" was given. Don't believe things you read from Infowars.
It was mandatory for the U of Arizona.
Thanks....I did not see that. Edit: from your post: The whole thing is STUPID for whatever reason given. What is this modern day military coming to?
Regardless the ROTC commanders who even 'strongly suggested' such 'mandatory fun' will be in deep doo doo. Especially violating every uniform policy ever known. Making such modifications to the US Army uniform would at least require a regional ROTC commander (1 star General) approval. If that WAS approved by a regional commander, then he or she is in deep doo doo. Chief of Staff of the Army GEN (4 star) Ray Odierno would never put up with garbage like this.
The only COS of the US Army that I ever met was Schoomaker. I met him while I was working Robin Sage out of Bragg,and we talked for a little while. One thing I know from that meeting is how VERY heavily scheduled the life of a COS is,and that he is virtually a slave to the job with every waking instant scheduled,and a crew of bodyguards and assistants running all around him like moons around a planet to make sure he is where he needs to be when he needs to be there. One thing I am very sure of is that none of these people are even mildly amused about crap like this when it gets to the level it demands their attention and they have to fit a counseling session with some errant senior officer into their schedule between the other meetings they have to attend. I'm betting those are ass-chewings of an epic level. Schoomaker did not appear to me to be a man that would be amused about some idiot General needing counseling because he was abusing his troops and embarrassing the army at the same time. I doubt the guy in charge today is very different.
Yes every minute is tracked and a minute more even on the treadmill for PT in the morning is calculated for these 4 star Generals. Schoomaker? Would that be Peter Schoomaker? That was about ten years ago...was it that one? If so, great General and what a strategic thinker.

Yup,and yup. I do think it was closer to 15 years ago than 10,though. Gen Bowra was still running SWC at the time,IIRC. I have a challenge coin he gave to me,and one that Gen Schoomaker gave to me sitting in a desk drawer. I'm fairly confident I won't be having to buy any drinks the next time I go to Bragg if there is a coin challenge. He was a old SOG recon guy (so was MG Bowra),and when he heard there was another old SOG recon guy working as a G-band chief,he came by to visit for a few minutes. He was already at SWC for some sort of meeting or briefing,so it was no big deal. He was in civilian clothes to try to pass himself off as a local instead of a 4-star,but I suspect the helicopter full of MP bodyguards looking suspiciously at everyone carrying weapons (which was everyone) gave him away. Not to mention his photo was hanging on the messhall walls at McCall. He definitely had a command presence about him that was unmistakeable,too. There was probably no crowd you could put him in where he didn't stand out as the Alpha male. I know one thing for a fact,and that is that *I* sure as hell wouldn't want to be a senior officer trying to explain a brain fart and public embarrassment to the Army like that to him. I have no idea where he is now or what he is doing,but I am certain that whatever it is,he is doing whatever it is as well as it can be done.
If memory serves...Schoomaker was actually called out of retirment for the CoS gig after Shenseki (sp?).
Yup,he had already retired,but by the Army (probably the other branches,also) was so polluted with PC brass in senior positions they had to call Schoomaker out of retirement to save the Army and put it back on it's feet. The Clintons had a policy of promoting and being rabbi's for "quota officers". They were especially hot to trot to get females promoted to General,and put in command of line combat units. IIRC,the corruption ran so deep that nobody in uniform could agree on who was responsible enough to take over the position and be accepted as non-political,so they went to the retired list for help. Schoomaker was known to be a very bright and very competent officer who was loyal only to the country and the Army,so he was picked to clean up the mess.

An unlawful order for a few reasons...
The event was not mandatory for Temple cadets....
no command pressure had been applied to convince members to participate....
105 of the brigade's 120 members ignored it.

I will go back and dig further. ... but now it appears as though ROTC candidates at ASU were faced with a volunteer event that became mandatory.
