The 2015 Army ROTC experience

http://twt-thumbs.washtimes.com/medi...018edc73f6c531




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.

Yeah because that is not going foster craps loads of subversive resentment amongst the rank and file.

HUh? I'm not sure I see how one ROTC unit makes the entire military any of what you said.

Replace last two words of your above quote with "the current American university campus." Then you'd be giving logically sound, proper advice.

I wouldn't have put on high heels if I were them.

IF the military is a "bloated leftist social engineering experiment", WHY is a seemingly permanent plank in the GOP's platform "MORE MILITARY SPENDING!" ?
