Luckily for you, you aren’t involved in the killing. Maybe if you were you wouldn’t be so hypersensitive.
Being offended is something for you to deal with in an adult fashion but don’t endorse taking a small pleasure away from those doing the dirty work.

"I'm guessing (and I'm not saying it's right) that the men don't need to be reminded "what they're fighting for" when they're fighting alongside them."You obviously haven't seen too many army chicks
Or been around some, they're more vulgar than the men!

And isn’t there a line from Apocolypse Now with Kurtz saying “yada.yada..and soldiers are repremanded for writing f*** on their planes” or something to that affect.
These people have way too much time on their hands.

We can't display our COLORS on conquered territory and we can't display pin ups in our barracks all because we 'might' offend someone else's sensibility.
As for the blood spent by those who fought for gained ground or for those who survived relaxing in their barracks or tents, who may want to look at a pin up to remind themselves what they are fighting for and what they have waiting back HOME, well their sensibilities just don't friggin count!!
PC will be our doom!!

Why not let the Muslims paint a picture of their favorite goat, and the women can get their choice of Oprah or Rosie?

It seems as though the Brits (and the U.S.) just love to bend over and take it from their Leftist Overlords on behalf of the Muzzies. (And for any other “Minorities” for that matter).

I dunno what all the fuss is about.
To: Lusis
You obviously haven't seen too many army chicks Or been around some, they're more vulgar than the men! No, not many. I've seen some that were quite buff but otherwise feminine (some guys like that) and some that were more masculine than men. Other than that, I wouldn't want to generalize. I would hope that it isn't like the NYPD where some of the female officers are quite petite.

"As a Christian woman, I also find these paintings offensive. I tried to teach my son to respect and honor women, like Christ respects and honors the church."The men who enjoy this nose art put their lives on the line so that you have 1) a right to be offended; 2) the right to say and post that you are offended; and 3) the right to teach your son anything that you please. Perhaps you should ignore the nose art that you do not have to look at and let these guys do a little something to entertain themselves and/or boost their morale.
Just a thought ...

I gotta say, as a woman (and a Christian!), I’m not offended. The planes were named and painted up as a morale booster.....maybe a tad risque, but not vulgar.
The Enola Gay was named after the pilot’s mother!

You realize that if Eve didn’t take that darn apple this wouldn’t even be an issue for you.

They harm no one except those who are hyper-sensitive. Grow up.

>>Hey thats rather tame compared to just about anything you see in SI.<<
No doubt. But some Freepers are at work and some have kids and some just wouldn’t have liked the one I found first. :)

(Do not do to others as you would not wish done to yourself. Thus no murmuring will rise against you.)
"Saints fan Lucy (Pinder) is disappointed the troops weren't allowed to have their fun. Last November she visited Afghanistan with pal Michelle Marsh as part of a morale-boosting tour, and even signed one of the planes carrying her picture."
I'm well into my 40s, but I would be tempted to go back into the military just to meet these two!
