Every time I see an article like this it saddens me. The women who chose to serve in the best service branch in the United States (yes I am biased) is not only detrimental to the Corp. But the Esprit De Corps, we strive to be ready to serve this great country, on land, sea, and air. There are Marines who see the women as less than them, and I find that unacceptable. We take the same oath as well, sworn in I am tired of all the end fighting to demean women who choose to serve. In the past they say that they are weak because their PT was less than what the men do. That is being redone and they will now have to qualify the same as the men. COL Mikel J.

I really don’t understand this. You can get pictures of naked women on the internet, magazines, etc. Why risk your career etc? What is point!

Sir, It’s probably some low life who doesn’t have respect for anyone including himself, and he thinks taking and posting nude pictures of women is macho. What a POS.

You are a normal, decent person. That's why you don't understand. Only sexual predators get off on some crap like this. Whether it's females or males being taken advantage of sexually (whether photos or physically) takes a depraved person in my opinion.

I concur with you SGT (Join to see) that it is very sad news that "267 images of female service members had been shared in a Dropbox folder called "Hoes Hoin'."
It seems from the article that some are selfies while others were taken by other people.
In any event it seems that whoever is posting these images is somebody who has little respect for the USMC or perhaps women USMC service members.
"Marine Corps officials have called on the Naval Criminal Investigative Service following revelations by Vice News last week that 267 images of female service members had been shared in a Dropbox folder called "Hoes Hoin'."
Vice reported that most of the images in the folder show women in military clothing. Some show the women's faces, dog tags, uniforms and name tags.
"Some of the photos are selfies, others are clearly taken by another person," the Vice report said. "Some show women performing sexual acts. A few are of service members fully clothed, in apparent attempt to shame or discredit them."
"Finally, some photos are crude collages showing a fully clothed service member in uniform on one side and a nude photo of the same woman on the other," the report added.
Some of the photos had been previously shared in other online groups while others appear to be new, Vice said.
"It's been reported through NCIS and the appropriate measures have been taken," Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Christopher Harrison told the Military Times. "I believe the site has been taken down."

If some of the women Marines were involved in this, they need to be punished too, LTC Stephen F. .

MSG Dan Walther - I meant, if they willingly took nude selfies or allowed themselves to be photographed nude, knowing the pics would be on social media, they’re as guilty as anyone else who knew about it or participated in it, and they tramped on the other female Marines serving. I know this male hormone thing has gone on forever, but it’s time to get serious about the ramifications when they are caught. A slap on the wrist, demotion, Article 15, or moving the problem to another location doesn’t cut it with me. If one of them was my daughter or granddaughters, I’d do everything I could to pay their sorry asses back, whatever it took. If a female is brave enough to join the military, and in a branch that goes into combat, or is alone for months at sea, they need respect all the time, not just when it suits a man.

SGT (Join to see) - Why? Sometimes people are naïve and send photos to a significant other (be it a spouse or partner) and trust them not to share it. Not to be vindictive if they break up (revenge porn).

From what I have read it doesn't seem like any of these were taken knowing that they would be posted on social media.
