  This passage just restored my faith in humanity.
  
  "In response to the criticism, the defense ministry uploaded a series of pictures to Facebook of female soldiers from other armies wearing high heels.
  
  But Stefanishina and the cosignatories of her statement pointed out that while the armies of some NATO member countries issue high heels to women as part of their dress uniform, they are not worn while marching in parades."
  
  How many people want to bet this didn't start as some general asking why all his lady soldiers weren't wearing high heels? After someone reminded him the ones from his party were strippers, someone abused Google and found the answer the world is meming about now.

  If its true its ridiculous. Sexualizing female soldiers makes them targets for rape etc hurts their performance

  They are also wearing US combat uniform pants which are normally pretty baggy for comfort and for good range of motion, but theirs have obviously been altered to make them form fitting.

  I guess they are trying to compete with "Miss Colorado".

  High heels and thigh high leather boots? Just add mini skirts and I'll sign right the fuck up.

  I agree with gammanu95’s suggestion! Thigh high leather boots with heels would be hot!
  
  I know nothing about the jobs female soldiers do in the Ukrainian army - but if they aren’t in combat positions - maybe heels aren’t that inappropriate?

  Cash I can't say regarding accuracy but I saw somewhere that Ukrainian women serve in combat on the front lines.

  The heel thing is mainly only for the parade not trench warfare. Lol
