Should this airman receive any disciplinary action?

And a Senior Airman should know better in whatever context. This is just wrong.<br>

Given that a great deal of MIA/POWs have been downed aviators and air crew, it's especially disrespectful to her particular branch of service. Not to downplay the MIA/POWs of other services, just an observation on my part.

Send her over to Afghanistan post haste, and allow her to be captured by the Taliban and see what she would think of that. A total offense to the man whose name I have worn on my wrist since 1971...John W. Kennedy, POW, Viet Nam.

Just a quick update, in an article in Stars & Stripes, a PAO from Fairchild AFB even outed her information in the article and confirmed the investigation has been started as of yesterday morning.
The Air Force is “disappointed” in the airman who appeared in a photo that is being circulated of her posing with her tongue in the mouth of the prisoner of war depicted on the iconic black-and-white ...

thanks for posting SFC Baber...by her comment she doesn't seem to know much about humility and self-respect much less respect for others....3 year old picture or not I doubt she has yet learned much from taking this picture so she still needs to be sanctioned in some way. Just because she got away with this for 3 years doesn't mean she still shouldn't be disciplined for her poor judgement unless it can be proven that she has atoned for this mistake.

What this Service Member has done not only has disrespected Soldiers Missing In Action from ALL Wars, but her branch of Service as well. The Army/Air force Times have stated that disciplinary action will be taken against this SM. This was a very bad and distasteful picture even IF this was a joke.

Just chapter her out, and the person that took the picture. She will never be able to lead in the military.

I personally feel disrespected and appalled by this photo and this persons actions not only because this painting represents the ultimate sacrifice a soldier could've done for his country, but also because this soldier absolutely knows what this represents and is purposely and willingly disrespecting every soldier who gave his/her life for this wonderful country. Forget disciplinary actions, she and the soldier who took the photo should be kicked out and stripped of all future benefits. We shod never tolerate this level of disrespect whether jokingly or purposely just being an ass!
