Sergeant Relieved of Duty for Nude Playboy Mission

[Deja Q]

Wow, look at the size of those wings!

SAN ANTONIO Jan 12, 2007 (AP)— An Air Force staff sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been relieved of her duties while the military investigates, officials said Thursday.

In February's issue, hitting newsstands this week, Michelle Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline "Tough Love." The following pages show her partially clothed, wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.

"This staff sergeant's alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Air Force's core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do," Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said in a statement.

Manhart told Playboy that she considers herself as standing up for her rights.

Doesn't the Playboy magazine encourage the propagation of people, which is what some of the fundies and tightie righties want? :shrug:

Or are only single and childless women (like Condi) qualified?

8. Religious zealots recruiting in the AF Academy is okay

but getting nekkid ain't okay. "Service before self." I believe the young lady is providing a fine service. "Excellence in all we do." Who says she ain't doing excellent work. Panties in a wad spread from the EIB broadcast booth.
