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.

Even when I outranked the CSM, I knew his professionalism and experience was too far ahead of me, but this woman seems to be the "new" female soldier (support). I even saw a 25 year old WO-1, she could have been in a porno mag...never left the Brigade Commanders side. Sad!

There was a LTG Flournoy that posted earlier today. Yes LTG. Could barely type a coherent sentence. It was deleted. I requested to connect with her. Haven't heard back yet. Must be too busy doing general stuff.

SGT (Join to see) - I looked but didn't find her. People like that don't care about what people say. I don't think she would be the type to come here.

CW4 Anthoney Lowry - Maybe there was a Joe writing for them and a super realized how jacked up it was.
CPT Russell Pitre, good point. Some are skeptical about RP because of the niche. Although, Facebook, Twitter, Skype. . .screw it. You get my drift.

I have no doubt that was the case. Whoever wrote it didn't realize that by logging into AKO, you can find every general officer in the army. Someone on here did that and guess what, LTG Flournoy doesn't exist. I wanted to know who would honestly defend this CSM's actions and think they were doing the right thing.

Where is her Commanding officer and how big a pice of shit is he or she to allow this to happen?

a mp pvt should correect her and then when she refuses to follow his "lawful order" to comply with the uniform regs he should apprehend her and then the base cdr most likely will get involved.

Good.Just because a person has rank doesn't make them immune to punishment when they screw up .

The IG is just for matters like this. This type of behavior screams racism, favoritism and lack of leadership to ALL soldiers who see it. I remember our CSM was caught in a similar situation where he had let blacks grow beards with no profiles, stay on definite profile, grow their hair out, allowed the good ole Bobby brown cut, slant cuts, hash marks and the list goes on for the style of the 80's and blacks. It came to a point that some had filed complaints and the CSM was forced by the BN CDR to have a Bn formation in the theater and went through the entire BN calling out individuals to go to the front of the room who were in Violation of the dress code and wound up having to tell all of them that the gigs would be corrected by COB. A SFC who was the CSM's best buddy was one of those and began to argue and "DIS" and wound up getting locked up in front of everyone by the BN CDR and had someone collect a pair of trimmers and cut this SFC's hair all off right then and there. Tempers flared and the CSM lost all respect from many of us NCO's on the spot for letting it go as far as it did.

Take it up higher, if He ignored the Talking about it, if leadership did not finally address it after repeat offenses the only thing us lowers could do was a congressional inquiry
