[QUOTE="get2choppaaa, post: 1359995, member: 17150"] Couple things about this just so we are being intellectually honest: 1) As much as I dont like to defend the Army...that is a ROTC cadet corps... not actual soldiers. While it is totally inappropriate and disgusting, it is not a parallel to the actual serving military, and a news story to hype up the PC bs that is out there. Do things like this happen? Yes, but the majority of the armed forces is not on board with wearing women's high heals in uniform... and generally, the military acts a-political while in uniform. You can believe whatever you want, and as long as you are not in uniform, nobody gives a shit. 2) There is a certain level of PC elements in all forms of current social life as well as business. Unless you own your own business. A lot of people focus on the fact that there has been negative social change indoctrinated in the military, with out looking at the very institutions the willingly volunteer to participate in every day in their lives. Do you use Amazon for example? Many people use the self justification of "The military is a rotten institution filled with globohomo" to write off any of the benefits military service has, normally because its a good rationalization to prevent one'self for facing situations that might kill you, but also present large rewards. The military can pull people out of poverty, give you order and discipline, and open doors for you that no other institution can do in this country. 3) No, you dont have to serve to see the indoctrination, but if you didn't serve in the recent years, then you really dont know how good or bad it is and are basically applying the logic that "everything in the news or that I read about the military is what is going on" instead of getting the input from the people who have... which we have seen not to work so well regarding accuracy. That article is a prime example, some nobody major basically ok-ed that sort of bs, I assure you they were punished for it after the fact and behind the scenes, but the media is going to promote it to show how the "even the military" is down with feminism or whatever.
