Flagwaver and Ben send us a link to an article <\/a>about a a military court which has found that Marine Sgt. Matthew W. Simmons, a baritone horn player in the Washington DIstrict, was found suitable for continued military service even though he appeared in a gay porn movie in his Marine uniform.<\/p>\n

In some of the clips, he was shown wearing his Marine dress blue coat, complete with decorations and rank insignia; others showed him wearing a Marine physical training jacket. At one point he mentioned on-camera that he was a Marine, and still shots from the videos were used for online advertising, McClatchy reported.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

He pleaded guilty to charges of misusing his uniform, but in its ruling the court set aside part of those convictions: Because Simmons never wore the complete uniform, there was no \u201cvisual evidence\u201d for the general public of his government authority, and even though he identified himself as a Marine, he didn\u2019t say they supported his behavior.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, lets’ look at the story of Michelle Manhart<\/a>, an Air Force staff sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine in 2007;<\/p>\n

Senior Airman Michelle Manhart (born 1976) is a former United States Air Force Military Training Instructor based at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, holding the rank of Staff Sergeant. In January 2007 she was relieved of duty and placed under investigation for posing nude in Playboy magazine.She has since been demoted to Senior Airman, a move which caused her to resign from the Air Force.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Manhart should have participated in gay sex and maybe she would have been excused for appearing nude.<\/p>\n
