What would you do if your CSM was ignoring uniform and grooming standards? (CSM Flournoy)

So this CSM from the the 8th MP BDE seems to be out of regulations. From the comments she has been corrected but she claims she is being harassed. I don't even understand how she got to be a CSM at a BDE. What COL out there is letting this happen? In one of the photos she is wearing stilettos in uniform. WTF? What kind of example is this. The worst is from a Facebook user that said:
"This one!!!! Holy **** she was in charge of us in Afghanistan!! I could go on and on about this toxic leader!! Trying to maintain professionalism but this one.....when a CSM so jacked up like this, she was laughing her ass off during our rehearsal of my brothers ceremony after he was killed in Afghanistan, she f***ing yelled at me because I "took too long saying my goodbye " as I'm f***ing crying kneeling in front of it. This post will probably get me in trouble, and ruin the rest of my army career as well as my day and my army experience."
What would you do if you were there? What if you were on command?
What should the Army do about this?
(Thanks to Army MP WTF Moments and it's followers for the photos.)
**************UPDATE************************
The 8th Theater Sustainment Command CSM will be travelling to the 8th MP BDE to have some one on one time with this CSM. It is amazing as leaders will do when they are being called out. He should have done that a long time ago.

First and foremost, I am sorry for your loss. Losing a brother in arms is hard enough but an actual brother in the line of duty is exponentially tough.
Second your expletive laden diatribe is overshadowed by your heartfelt grief. Your expressions would be compared to Disney if we were put under the same experiences; therefore, you have no worries about your career with this out in the open right now.
Third keep us posted on what happens with this soldier (I used lower case intentionally as I refer it to her alone). I know this is all alleged hence the investigation. I personally believe you and your perception as 100% accurate. I hope the 8th TSC CSM does too.

This is unbelievable. There is a big difference between leadership occasioanlly having a mishap and then there is this. It is "leaders" like this that actually burn out the junior people under their command who would have otherwise been great leaders.

First, you are a commissioned officer, I assume at the time. You should have address that after you calmed down with the battalion commander. That reflects on the commander too. Second, do not bash vets, be more professional.
I am sorry for your loss, do not let idiots define you.
