What do you think of this photo? Appropriate or not?

Obviously, she does not deserve the stripes on her arm. He actions are a slap in the face of Americans, many pilots, who went missing in action performing their sworn duty. To me, she should receive a summary court martial, reduced in rank, fined, and go apologize to all families of MIAs personally. My uncle was an MIA for 56 years and my grandmother held out the faintest of hope that one day he would come home. He did, his neices and nephews buried him with military honors in 2001. The pain of not knowing is worse than the closure death brings and her actions disrespect every family who has an MIA.

Now many know who she is and I think that the embarrassment she has caused herself through her own ignorance, speaks volumes.

Why? Why do this? I guess every branch has their fair share of odd and inappropriate people. This is just not very tasteful at all.

Very disrespectful!

This photo of the SrA is out of line. Men and Women died and were POW's and what she is doing is disrespecting those men and women. She is wrong and that is bad judgement.

The thing that really bugs me about this photo other than the blatant disrespect is this...that black rope on her shoulder indicates that she is part of the honor guard while in her Tech School...she definitely should know better than to disrespect pow's and mia's!

Yes. It's disrespectful and completely unbecoming of a female military member. Females complain all the time about not being treated fairly in the military and this a perfect example of why not. How are we supposed to expect to be taken seriously when we have females taking pictures like this and acting so carelessly especially in uniform. No one is perfect and everyone does dumb things. But this is flat out disrespectful. It sickens me to see it.

Yes she should. If the person(s) who snapped this picture was in the military, they are just as guilty, therefore subject to disciplinary action also.

I think corrective actions is warranted for this photo. Not just for the girl in the photo but for the person taking the photo as well for not upholding standards.

Hopefully not going on a recruitment poster! We all have to remember that when we're in uniform, we project an image - and this definitely is not that image.

In the words of CPT Stillman, "I'm going to recommend that you all repeat the course of basic training."

What makes this tragic is that she's molesting one of our most sacred icons.
