Shorter US military: “Torture? Okeydokey! Tits? Not so much. Unless they’re fake, that is.”
Air Force strips Playboy poser of status
By ELIZABETH WHITE, Associated Press Writer
9 minutes agoSAN ANTONIO – An Air Force drill sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been removed from active duty, she and the Air Force said Wednesday. Michelle Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in Playboy’s February issue, said she got word Friday that she was removed from “extended active duty” and was also told that she was demoted from staff sergeant to senior airman.

Manhart, a 30-year-old mother of two, said the military’s action against her hinged on the fact that she was pictured wearing her uniform.
She was photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline “Tough Love.” The following pages showed her partially clothed wearing dog tags and fully nude. After the pictorial hit newsstands in January, Manhart was relieved of her duties pending an investigation.
Oh, right – so torture, rape and wanton destruction is OK, but tits aren’t.
But wait! Tits are fine with the military – they’ll even give you bigger tits if you join up.
According to the Army, between 2000 and 2003 its doctors performed four hundred and ninety-six breast enlargements and a thousand three hundred and sixty-one liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents. In the first three months of 2004, it performed sixty breast enhancements and two hundred and thirty-one liposuctions.
Let me see if I have this straight. If you join the military they’ll make you like like a Playboy model for free*, but if you actually become a Playboy model, you’re a slut not fit for command.
But just think – the ‘Readers’ Wives’ people could actually stop the war in its tracks by publishing a Military Babes Special. The future of Iraq couild depend on pornography.
