U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Michelle Manhart poses for a photo in San Antonio, Thursday, Jan. 11, 2007. Manhart, who is featured in the February issue of Playboy magazine, has been relieved of her duties pending an investigation.Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said, "This staff sergeant's alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen."
Hmm ... it's a good thing she isn't in the Navy.
[reflective pause while you take in the potential joke ... ]
And, Jesus, are we so politically correct that we have to say "alleged action" when there are actual photos? Either she disobeyed the rules and posed for the magazine or didn't. The Air Force spokesman (whose crew cut I can hear) probably couldn't get an offer to pose for Field and Stream, let alone take his clothes off for money.
What are they investigating, exactly? If the investigation is as efficient as most other things the government does, she'll wind up with a promotion and commendation. Unless, of course, they can prove that she was on some Swift Boat or something.
The big advantage to being in Playboy over being in the Air Force is that nobody shoots at the magazine, and the money's better.
Fuck 'em and run, kid. You're only young once.

Hear Hear!!! I'll drink to that...
If she'd been in the Army, she'd be in the next series of recruitment ads.
Of course, if she'd been in the Army, she'd be in Iraq, and unable to pose for any Playboy photos.... although there were some photographers at Abu Ghraib who probably could have found some interesting ways to pose her...
Nice one, Jolly!
Katie: Wanna join the Air Force? :)
I"d join her's!!
Hell, If I looked like that I'd be in Playboy too!
brillant way to get out of a service commitment dont you think?
