backlash this business about about Michelle the former air Force staff ser Geant who posed nude in Playboy and brought discredit to herself is ridiculous exposed Only a poor june i agree that Manhart did not do the right thing by appearing in her but the backlash is becoming in the june 20 Samantha Nichols states the very reason Man Hart was removed was because she posed nude in a that is not the Case Manhart was removed for appearing in the Magazine in her i think that some of the comments made by Manhart and Model Manuela Mezzadri were taken out of context in playmate airman bares it All to help wounded troops june How i think Man Harts intentions Are in the right this Calendar project is her vehicle to help raise Money for troops now that she is out of the air As for the Issue about Manhart being a Mother and How she raises her that is for her and her husband to decide no one regardless of How anyone feels about the i agree with Nichols that women in the military must work harder for re Spect than their male and that Man Harts actions could be perceived As a slap in the face to women in the i dont think any less of any woman in uniform As a result of Man Harts posing if the article or the fact that Manhart posed nude upsets regardless of your in the dont read the its its in the past and we cant change the fact that it staff Clayton Dale Iraq grow be tolerant i have to comment about All the Back lash that Michelle Manhart is like most we Are getting Playboy because its actually quite taste Tell us what you think stars and stripes welcomes your comments on editorials

via fax country code 149 0 Dan 3498395 email almost like they Are very professional with their As for her getting discharged because of i do understand but i cannot fully the Only real part she did wrong was doing it in it was in her personal life that she but it makes for a better Edge to have the uni form in that was to sell More copies for i think a lot people Are just upset be cause after having kids she does look exceptional and that takes a lot of work to come i see it All the time on i think the fact that she is open about her sexuality is its Why i love being stationed in Europe they Arent As prud ish about things like that the is but seems to have missed the sexual which would make the country so much a lot of these misconceptions Are be cause of the religious zealots who Are either in office and pushing their or by the stars and stripes is Start ing to open up about other religions and you see that i think if the wants to remain the greatest then we need to learn tolerance and have an open discussion about take the veil off differ ent views and actually act like for the betterment of the lets All grow up a bit and learn to get along and accept senior airman Jason Geddings Ramstein air Germany its Man Harts right to pose i understand what Samantha Nichols is saying about the issues of re Spect with female service members tos exposed Only a poor i Dis agree about the decision of former a Tiv duty air Force noncommissioned officer Michelle Man Harts crime was posing for play boy in that was her her failure As an the military had no major issues with her be fore had she but not in uni they probably would had have Little to say about the military punished her for her poor her Choice to pose again for a Calen Dar is her Choice As the Freedom she has is what we in the military fight we May hate these freedoms at times protesters speaking out against the or protesting the soldiers called to fight i was not impressed by Man Harts Choice to regardless of the i believe women roles in military service will not be threatened or strengthened by what Manhart so All should Stop questioning her character and let it the space that Nichols used to com Plain about Man Harts personal decisions to pose could have been used to promote the actions of a female service member who reflected Honor on her unit and her that space was instead used to Point out the negatives of a female exse vice i have no doubts that Nichols is an asset to her unit and to the i think the column was a poor Choice on her Nichols has a great medium to voice her Why waste time and space on something so in this Day and it be bet Ter to Shine on the achievements of female not the negatives of one Dave Johns Kuwait i just thought in com5in5arly doonesbury by t cwt
