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.

We had a problem too in the Army until we went back to war as an Army. NCO (and officer)reports were highlighted with combat tour time AND how many Soldiers a leader actually leads. Before this change, you had supply NCOs and Corps Staff NCOs with no Soldiers under them rehearsing for every NCO of the month/quarter/year board and SGT Audie Murphy board that came up. As long as they looked good in uniform and had a bunch of education points and enrolled in college they did well. That tapered off after 9/11 when boards starting looking at 'fruit salad' of the combat variant and the number of Soldiers an NCO actually led and how that unit did in combat and training center rotations.

IIRC,that lasted about a week because everybody was harassing the hell out of the SGM's,who were used to walkking around at leisure everywhere they went,with nobody bugging them. It was a lot of fun to salute one and wait for him to return the salute,and then run to get ahead of him and salute him again. SMG's really need anger management classes. OH LOL! That's a great one. I am sure the grass cutting SGM mafia loved that one. Just imagine CSM Plumley getting a salute...

When I retired from the military, I attended a college in the deep south. A woman president of the college decided to hold a beauty contest for men dressing like women. No guys came out for the "beauty pageant." The idea quietly died. Unfortunately, the president wasn't fired. Normally, the military doesn't go in for such silliness, but things have changed a lot both in civilian life and the military life. That was one of the reasons I retired with nearly 25 years in the service.
Yep. Maybe they are females or homosexuals... Back in the day Army ROTC had one SF (green beret) SGM at each 'hub' school. Fordham back then had a large program and was a hub command with an 06. I don't see any SF SRNCO allowing that garbage to happen.

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. 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. Indeed you are correct.

Odierno looks like Marlon Brando in Apocalyse Now. He has a 'soft' voice like the godfather (also Brando). He is a tall and big man (not fat) and former USMA (West Point) football player. Quite an imposing figure. I spent quite a few late evenings (2100-2300 hrs) outside his office in line to get target packets signed for bomb drops or artillery missions the next day while in Iraq in 2006-2007. That 'soft' voice sometimes turned into a fury and boomed through the marble walls of the palace HQs. Then you see red faced COLs and LTCs scurring out and guess what....I'm next:0 I always had my stuff together most of the time had one of his 'boys' and my boss come in with me to discuss other things. It would be hey boss need to talk to you but LTC RLH needs to talk first. One time when I went up he was on the balcony with a large cigar with a big blue smoke cloud around him unwinding after a day riding and flying around visiting units. I went over he asked if the intel was good, I said yes and gave him the reasons why. He put the cigar in his mouth signed the packet. Like a scene from the Godfather movie:)

We probably had more than our fair share of SGM Plumley types,but in SF everybody pretty much knows all the SGM's personally,and know which ones you needed a really good head start on before saluting them. The good news is they weren't the type to try to bring you up on any formal charges. They were the type that liked to settle things on a "personal" level. Which meant I had to be careful walking around for a couple of days and pay attention to who was getting close to me. None really seemed to hold a grudge about it. Give them a couple of days to cool off some,and things were fine. I did push things too far once and ended up with a SGM "babysitter" named "Big Mac" McGuire for a couple of months,though. Everywhere he went,I went with him. I was doing some drinking back then,and can't remember now what it was I had done to draw so much attention,but I do know my drinking was drastically reduced after being tucked under his wing. We were hauling cases of C-Rats out to the Robin Sage teams once in his 56 Chevy pu and got a flat tire. He didn't have a jack,so he just took the lug nuts off and picked up the back of the truck by the bumper so I could change the tire. Did I mention that he also liked to fight? I had no fun at all the whole time I was working with him. The one time I did get him really steamed about something to the point where he threatened to kick my ass,I just got him confused by telling him that I didn't think a man as big as him could run fast enough to kick MY ass",and then got the hell out of Dodge while he was still confused. Last time I saw him was the day I reported back into Bragg after VN,and as I was walking though the 7th SFG company headquarters buildings,somebody came crashing through the screen door and down the steps to the sidewalk where I was walking. Big Mac stepped through the door and said "Well,I guess we know who the company SGM is now,don't we?" Big Mac was reporting in that day,too. Last I heard he was a fundie preacher in some small community,as mellow as could be,and a friend to all. BTW,I used to be friends with a senior NCO that had served with Plumley in the 82nd when they were both platoon sgts,and he said that Sam Elliot absolutely nailed Plumley's personality.

That they have! For one thing,I don't remember so many people being so damn mad all the time back then.

Great Army 'war story' there Pete. BTW,I used to be friends with a senior NCO that had served with Plumley in the 82nd when they were both platoon sgts,and he said that Sam Elliot absolutely nailed Plumley's personality. Plumley passed away a few years ago my boss told me yesterday. My civilian boss was a former 1-7 Cav BN commander. Hal Moore and Plumley kept in touch with the unit as they were the honorary CDR/CSM regimental commander. My boss said Hal Moore used to come into his office on a Friday around noon and ask him where he stashed the booze:) Of course he had to explain the Army changed a bit:) He still said 'come on, I know you have some scotch around here somewhere." Hal Moore is still alive and 93. Just checked his public FB page.

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?).
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalm 121:7)
He is. Saw the retired General Moore at my Command and General Staff college time at Leavenworth. His book was already required reading for several years...but who needs to be forced to read that book! He came to give us a lecture on leadership in a combat environment given it was just two months after 9/11. He was in his late 60s back then and looked great. Joey Galloway was there too. What an honor to listen to him just use what is usually just boring lector time just giving us and interesting story of his his combat experience.

There is bad mojo in the air now. The world is going dark and people can sense bad things around them.
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.

He had a reputation for loving to go out to visit remote SF camps that were under attack,and had the reputation of being the only reporter that went around armed (with a Swedish K,IIRC),and who could be counted on to man a position on the wall when the camps were attacked. I heard he also liked to sit on the berms and some some weed at sunset. Never heard anybody say anything negative about him. He had stones and could be counted on in a pinch. Nothing else really mattered.

I agree. That might be why some people are so tense. They just have a vague sense of what is coming,but can't identify what it is that disturbs them. That's enough to make anyone cranky.

Please keep me informed of his actions, I, while certainty bowing to your knowledge of the Army, doubt that any heads will roll. Generals are to interested in their retirement incomes and not interested in the well being of the junior, O-5 and below, officer corps or troops.
Some Generals are Army 'puritans.' Meaning they know the PC garbage hurts the Army. Yet, the wiley ones, they also know when to pick and choose their 'battles.' If they 'fell on the sword' for every stupid thing the civilian political leaders did or implemented there would be no good generals left. Sometimes they just wait it out for calmer seas. Your USMC Generals do a good job of this to preserve the Corps. For example, the Marine Corps was 'forced' to accept women in their advanced infantry training for officers. They obliged of course...but none of the female officers passed the rigorous standards. They did not lower the bar so females could 'pass' and allow good Marines to be in harms way. The Army gets their 'test' this month as three women go off to Ranger school. I know plenty of athletic men with strong mental abilities not pass Ranger school. The question will be if the Army lowers their standards for the women to look PC or they do what the Marines did and say 'sure ladies come on in, now do this or you are out like the men.' We shall see. As I mentioned a few weeks back I am now a civilian Army trainer. The Soldiers we are getting in now are the same. Some are eager, aggressive, smart and fit and some are not. It has been like that for generations. Most don't get involved in the daily PC garbage and just do their job. It is the job of the officers and senior NCOs to shield the Soldiers from all that garbage coming from DC and the Pentagram. The only negative comments from my observations of Army units from civilian 'eyes' is the lost art of actually fighting battles. All the young leaders 'grew up' in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are very good at fighting insurgents but barely competent on fighting other armies, navies and air forces. It is because of this deficiency retired Army guys and gals work where we work.
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalm 121:7)
The Clinton's hand-picked a female candidate to be "the first Green Beret",and had Army regulations changed because the physical requirements to be accepted into SFTG were deemed to be "sexist",and the ones she did have to meet,like the minimum pushup number,were done using "Female" pushups. She was ordained by the WH to be the "First female SF officer",and the "First SF Female General Officer". It was all about "shattering the glass ceiling" back then and getting females into combat command positions so they could become General Officers. I understand there was a lot of indirect pressure put on the SWC command by DA and the Clinton WH to make sure she passed,but she flunked out because the senior officers refused to play the game. I heard all about this maybe 3rd hand from others who had heard rumors,but nobody that was directly involved in it ever wanted to talk. Even I wouldn't be mentioning it today if it weren't for the fact that everyone involved at the time is safety retired now. IIRC,there were two 0-5's or O-6's (can't remember which at this point) that had their careers ended because they refused to follow DA and WH "suggestions",and held her to the same standards they held the male students. AFAIK,there hasn't been any female SFTG students since them. It is damn near impossible to flunk out a black or Hispanic student now,though. They just recycle them through the program and send them to a all-black cadre staff to work in a area that is predominately black. I haven't heard very many white SF NCO's bitch about this,but I have heard a couple of black senior SF NCO's get so mad over it they looked like they were going to explode,and I can't say that I blame them. All the hard work THEY put towards being legitimate graduates of the Special Warfare School was nullified by the AA graduates. Now anybody that sees them wearing a beret will think THEY were AA graduates,too. It should be mentioned that the AA graduate "program" didn't exist until after the two 0-5's were forced into early retirement over flunking out the woman candidate that was friends with Bubbette!,and the Clinton's made a lot of political officer promotions. I know of one LTC that was a radial anti-gun follower who broke into the house of one of his E-8's that had been arrested for drunk driving,and stole all his guns and ammo. Word was he had the guns and ammo dumped into Mott Lake. The E-8 threatened to have him and his Fan Boy SGM arrested for felony theft unless the LTC dropped the court-martial charges against him and let him retire with his rank,and that's how the LTC got out of it. He was also immediately re-assigned to a company in Thailand to allow the heat to die down around SWC over his actions,and damned if he wasn't back a year later with a promotion to O-6. SOB obviously had a Rabbi in the Pentagram or the DNC because he should have been forced into retirement instead of promoted. Once again,he was one of the graduates of the "Senior Officer SF Candidate Course",and didn't become SF until he was a 0-5,and he was totally incompetent. He is one of the reasons I quit working Robin Sage. He started to run his mouth at me one day during a area command meeting,and I told him to STFU because I wasn't in the army,didn't have to take his crap,and couldn't be court-martialed. He did STFU,but I was also hustled out of the tent by some senior NCO's standing at the back that knew me and were wanting to avoid trouble. The man was a total asshat,and had already lost the majority of the civilian assets that had been working with SFTG because of his arrogant attitude towards them,and some of them had been doing that stuff for 20+ years. The Army wasn't even allowed to use their farm property for training anymore,either. I spent almost 7 years on active duty with SF,and a few more years later on as a civilian contract employee,and I had NEVER seen or heard of any SF officer talking to or treating senior NCO's the way this man did. It was like he was royalty,and they were minimum wage employees that lived to serve him. I am GUESSING it was crap like this that resulted in Schoomaker being brought back on AD to be the Army COS. It had to be somebody like him because a lot of the AD senior officers by then were Clinton and Boy Jorge political appointees. The Army needed someone without personal knowledge or prejudices to weed out the bad from the good. This is PURE speculation on MY part,though. No one has ever said this to me,and I have never discussed it with anyone on active duty or retired. If I am wrong,it is all on me. The Army gets their 'test' this month as three women go off to Ranger school. Flat out,if any of them graduate,the standards were lowered. Even Olympic-grade female athletes would have a hard time graduating from Ranger School. It is without question the most physically demanding school in the entire US Army. Gym Rat young males flunk out on a regular basis because they just can't hack the physical requirements along with the mental requirements added to the lack of sleep and rest.

8 women, 184 men remain in Ranger School assessment www.armytimes.com/story/m...rap-week-update/26260827/ I read about this recently and it kind of shocked me and I sent the news item to several Ranger buddies...no response from them. I recall it being talked about in the past, but now the unbelievable reality is here. I enjoy reading your war stories,petey.
It shocks me,too. I'm wondering if the Ranger cadre picked to grade the women were "hand picked" due to their political reliability?

Good, sounds like you guys wised up. But I'm curious as to how much resistance this met from those political creatures outside of the Army, those wanting to protect/reward their favorite "brown noser"?
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
As you mentioned he was a 'new comer' to SF from the senior officer course. He did not 'grow up' in SF and that was his major malfunction. He did not know the breed of men he was supposed to lead or leave alone.
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalm 121:7)
The word integrated and assessment is telling. Means they adjusted standards.
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalm 121:7)
They had females enter West Point in 1976, I believe it was. Very controversial at that time, but somehow the institution survived and the women did well. Change is a challenging thing to those types of institutions, including Ranger School. I could tell you about Airborne School in the mid-1970s, but I don't want to reveal my age. They were segregated from us boyz back then.
It's the pendulum effect. GOP admins tend to let the services handle personnel decisions. Now with Zero in, we get red high heels. The Dims use the military for their social experiments. The Pubs tend to leave them alone.
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalm 121:7)
That's a university environment. West Point commissions officers for all branches of the service. Ranger school is different. It is a place mostly infantry soldiers, NCOs and Officers go to be better infantrymen.
"The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” (Psalm 121:7)
Where did you get that from? I feel safe saying 99% are commissioned in the Army.
Anybody who has ever been in the Army and been to Ranger School or talked with anyone who has knew that right off the bat. As I have said before,not even female Olympic athletes have what it takes to compete on a level playing field with the few males that graduate from Ranger School. It's not just muscle mass,either. It's the ability to think and make correct decisions with virtually no sleep and physically exhausted and under pressure with people screaming in your ear. Truth to tell,that part is harder to meet than the muscle mass part.

I can tell you about jump school in the summer of 64. There were no women,and my class started with a class of 425 students. 187 of us graduated 3 weeks later. And jump school was considerably easier than Ranger School. Although to be fair,a considerable number of the class members that didn't make it quit as soon as they saw the 250 foot towers. This was before the first day of training. We rode past them on the way in,and they quit when the buses got there and unloaded.

Of course they do. They are all about social engineering,and there is nowhere more suitable for them to force social engineering off as a successful program than the military. The military can only say "Yes Sir!" and follow orders. If asked if the social experiments were successful,they can only say "yes,they were" because they can be ordered to say "yes,they were". They are a captive test group.

Where did you get that from? I think he may have meant to say "West Point commissions officers for all branches of the ARMY,technical and administrative,as well as combat arms." Although it is true that officers from all career branches can apply for and be accepted for training at the Ranger School. Unless things have changed,a NCO needs to come from a combat arms branch of the army to be accepted,though.

Sorry, I don't see ANY head rolling...except for perhaps some poor token schlub who typed up the "order." Or the personnel in charge of personally distributing the actually high heels to the Cadets. IF by a slim chance someone does take a hit, it'll be a low rung on the ladder and the noise will be muffled. At this point all the damage is already done. Those photos will live in infamy.
Big conservative football player Italian don looking voluntarily bald Generals don't put male Soldiers or cadets in women's shoes. I'd *hope* you were right... However I'm assuming "This Man's Army" is already so infested by LBTQ-types that ALL the "facts" this CoS requests will be still-born. And IF he reveals the nature of such quashing, he'll be prematurely and immediately "retired" just like all the other guys who care.
Isn't all military? I'd have been court martialed if I'd served.
You are probably right.
He is very close to Plumley's family.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
You know all of this reminds me of the movie Heartbreak Ridge where that supply Major came in and was changing things all for the worse just because he hated the "Old Guard guys".

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.
