The Michelle Manhart Video: U.S. Air Force Recruitment Tool?

Of course, it is a double standard that men are allowed to freely watch nude women in the military with no consequences, sexually assault women, with only minor administrative consequences, yet when one of their own drops her clothes she faces discharge. Two serving women have posed nude in the past, both from the navy. One woman was discharged another woman had already been honorably discharged before her pictures appeared.

Reality is that if all the soldiers who read Playboy or similar magazines would be discharged, there wouldn't be much of an army left. So it is okay to be a peeping Tom in the armed services, but not to be naked. In fact, in the armed services, sexual assault may be treated more leniently than posing naked.

"The Air Force says go do something amazing, and I think I pretty much did it," Michelle Manhart said.

The U.S. Air Force clearly does not agree with Ms. Manhart.
