(Air Force) Sergeant in trouble for Playboy spread

[deadparrot]

SAN ANTONIO - 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.

1. Need I even say it?

Oh, all right, I will: This thread is worthless without pictures.

2. Deadparrot is working on it

Hello deadparrot,you there?

[deadparrot]

5. Meh...I'm a straight girl.

:P

The link has her holding an issue of Playboy which I assume is the one she's in. Go pick it up. :D

6. I found this

one:



Not as revealing as one might like, but I guess you have to get the mag for that. Still, not bad though. Enjoy!

On edit: I wouldn't mind supporting that troop.

19. You beat me to it!

33. Training the troops to use their heads, or the use of Saltpeter, perhaps?

Manhart, who is married with two children, joined the Air Force in 1994, spending time in Kuwait in 2002. She trains airmen at Lackland.

3. "has been relieved of her duties while the military investigates"

I'll bet they're lining up to be in on that investigation, and I'll bet all the evidence will be very thoroughly examined.

17. So of redefines the police phrase "caught the suspect red handed"

apparently "red handed" modifies the word "caught" rather than the word "suspect".

4. For those who must have a picture

She seems to be one of the girls shown here:

7. Here's a pic of a really pretty AF female

Well, she used to be pretty.... she's dead.

This is a repost from: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=2678713#2679732

Here's a pic of the first AF female killed in Iraq.
I guess I'm just a sexist pig, but I think this sucks. Pretty young women with their whole lives ahead of them shouldn't die for nothing. Ugly young guys, too!

Note the date and that she was doing convoy support.

This country has no soul!

Airman killed in Iraq

9/30/2005 - SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) -- An improvised explosive device killed a female Airman during a convoy mission supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Airman 1st Class Elizabeth Jacobson, 21, was providing convoy security Sept. 28 near Camp Bucca, Iraq, when the vehicle she was riding in was hit by an improvised explosive device.

The Riviera Beach, Fla., native was assigned to the 17th Security Forces Squadron at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas. Airman Jacobson had been in the Air Force for two years and had been deployed to Iraq for more than three months.

She is the first female Airman killed in the line of duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

8. Hey, maybe this is away to avoid serving in Iraq?

Pose for a nudie mag, stay home and don't get killed?

[rebel with a cause]

13. I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder if playboy/playgirl could do expanded series with pictures of at least 21,000 servicemen and women in it.

;-)

[Nickster]

28. Amen, could you imagine if every nudie mag ran spreads of every military branch?

Heck, I'd even want to see them posing for gay magazines as well so they'd REALLY have to be dismissed then.

9. Doing this

in uniform is the reason the A.F. is coming done on her so hard. While on active duty you can do almost anything but make sure your not in uniform.

[w4rma]

21. Wasn't she posing nude? How could she have been in her uniform?

Yeah, I know. She was in a uniform in the magazine before she began undressing. :P

[saigon68]

24. You have to Use "GOOD TASTE IN UNIFORM" like this

[Maine-ah]

32. you beat me to it.

it wouldn't have mattered except for the uniform.

[dweller]

10. ahem...

"This staff sergeant's alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen..."

so, what did she do wrong?

[Big Pappa]

11. check my prev. post.

[cosmicdot]

34. is 'she' and 'airmen'? n/m

[geomon666]

14. She posed nude.

You're only supposed to pose with your nude prisoners. Not be nude yourself.

[Big Pappa]

15. Maybe

she would have gotten a medal if that had been the case.:sarcasm:

[knight_of_the_star]

16. That's a new way to dodge the draft, if it comes back

I'll be sure to have my picture taken for Playgirl and gay porn sites in uniform, that should do the trick ;).

[Irreverend IX]

18. "She trains airmen in Lackland."

Can you say hot for teacher? If the AF brass had half a brain, they would send her to a recruiting post instead of firing her. That would boost their enlistment numbers.

[saigon68]

25. She can train them to do this

[saigon68]

26. Or Maybe train them to do THIS

[Nickster]

29. Watch out, that might get you a White House press pass! n/t

22. The military repeatedly condones rape, but this reaks of consensuality.

Off with her head.
