\"Temple<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Bobo sends us a link to the Washington Post<\/a> in which they report that Army seems confused about how cadets ended up in high heels;<\/p>\n

A spokesman for U.S. Army Cadet Command, Lt. Col. Paul Haverstick, said ROTC units across the country were directed to participate in Sexual Assault Awareness Month events on their campuses \u201cto help stamp out sexual assault on the campuses where they have a presence.\u201d But Maj. Gen. Peggy C. Combs, the cadets\u2019 commanding general, did not direct how the units would do so, and had other events as options, Haverstick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter receiving some comments about uniforms, we are currently reviewing how local universities implemented their participation in these events designed to raise awareness on the issue of sexual assault,\u201d Haverstick said in an e-mail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who would have thought that professors of military science would take guidance from their commander so literally, huh? <\/p>\n

I intentionally avoided the Arizona aspect of the story because it wasn’t clear – a single complainer posting an anonymous message to Reddit is not a reason to go off half-cocked. The fact that there was actual photographic proof from Temple made that part of the story easier.<\/p>\n

But now the folks in Arizona are saying that they weren’t encouraged to wear their uniforms and that no one did that. This video supports that – everyone in the video wearing their ACUs is not wearing red high heels, but rather their boots;<\/p>\n
