Air Force believes pin-ups are contributing to a rise in sexual assaults They have been there for nearly a century, and now they are contributing to a rise in assaults? Like, it has nothing to do with your recruiting practices, at all............

Air Force believes pin-ups are contributing to a rise in sexual assaults What it wasn't a video on YouTube? (sarc / off )
Suprised it took this long, they did it eons ago in the private sector to those who built their toys and they were pissed.
Beam me up Scotty.

Pretty disappointing, if you ask me. If Supermarkets considers people checking out porn or swimsuit models on break not okay, as part of their training, and part of their concern for female employees, someone should be telling me that the concerns for other, higher positions shouldn’t be taken as seriously. I was deferred from serving in the Armed Forces as part of a medical deferral. However, I am disappointed that some in the military don’t have some of the important common sense that doesn’t belong in some of the workplaces we have available.

Nose art always takes a hit when the desk jockys get involved.

Yeah, I remember how rape rates soared during WWII due to risque nose art on aircraft too.
Kinda like how guns are responsible for murders, not the people who pull the trigger or the society that produces such people in increasing amounts.
To: Living Free in NH
I read somewhere that during WWII the Army Air Corps had to order flyers to tame down their airplane art as it was getting a bit too racy.

We won’t let them vote.
Won’t let them carry guns.
Won’t let them have pin ups.
Won’t let them shoot back when they’re being fired on.
Require them to read rights to enemy combatants.
Isn’t Obamaland great? :)

On Parris Island it was called the Hogboard. I tried so hard to get my girlfriend to send a picture of her roommate.
Never happened...

Maybe it's just the ukelele's they don't like.

I am so glad I retired from this cr@p. You're not alone. My father would not recognize the Air Force he served in back in 1951-53. I can't believe what has happened even since the 70s. And the guys who flew these wouldn't even be certain today who actually won the friggin' war:

What is the link between pin-ups and assaults exactly? Who is assaulting and what reason did they state?
If it's a case of asking guys to clean up their act when women are present, I can get it.
However, I think it's part of a campaign to eliminate all testosterone from our armed services.
It will be like removing the gun powder from our bullets, but hey, it's all in the name of sensitivity so it will work out. Right? Right!

Those idiots...you’re supposed to use those pics. Maybe then they won’t be forcing themselves onto real women. Either that or get a wife, “buddy” or girlfriend.

So, if you’ve been looking at a posed picture of a scantily clad woman and sexually assault someone then the picture is to blame, but if you see that same woman in real life wearing the same outfit and sexually assault her she has no blame, even if you saw her picture, which couldn’t have been taken without her posing.

Interesting how it specifies pinups of gals. Photos of hunky undressed dudes are apparently a-ok. Welcome to the new era of the Bradley Manning faggot military! Farcical and pathetic. The uniform no longer commands the weight and respect it used to, thanks to all this homo social-engineering. I no longer advise young folks to consider enlisting. In fact, they’d be crazy to nowadays.
