Army wants to know if Ky. Guard women posed nude

[deadparrot]

The U.S. Army is investigating allegations that women in a Kentucky National Guard unit posed nude for pictures with their M-16s and other military equipment, and if so, whether they should be sanctioned for bringing discredit to the military, officials said.

The allegations were reported to the commander of the 410th Quartermaster unit about a week to 10 days before the company shipped out for Iraq on Aug. 26 from Camp Shelby, Miss., Lt. Col. Phil Miller, a spokesman for the Kentucky Guard, said this week in response to questions from The Courier-Journal.

“This is not the kind of activity condoned by the command leadership of the Kentucky National Guard,” he said.

The newspaper had been independently provided a compact disc containing 232 photographs of at least a half-dozen nude and seminude women in various poses, including kissing one another, posing suggestively with military rifles, and covering their breasts with American flag decals.

10. In all seriousness..

it is OK for our male soldiers to rape our own women soldiers but hey we can't have just anybody looking for free! So sad and very sickening! Kim

11. And to think that they can't figure out their recruiting problems

:eyes:

Hint brainiacs - SEX SELLS

12. Yet they WILL NOT investigate the mishandling of taxpayer's money

With all the fraud, waste and sheer mismanagement of millions of dollars in Iraq, you'd think the Army would have bigger fish to fry.

But that presupposes that thinking is actually happening....

13. But torture is A Ok?

This is a bizarro world.
